My House Concert Story
I used to play them frequently in the Grand Rapids, MI. We were billed as a blues show but the guitarist/singer was real good with swing. We preferred to use Carolyn Cobell on cajon instead a drum kit. She is just wonderful and plays New Orleans, swing, world beats, latin styles expertly. I wish we could have done more with that line-up.
