Gimme one reason to stay here - Bernie Williams!

Last night I stumbled upon a blues jam session at the Lazy Boy Lounge
on Mamaroneck Ave in White Plains. At first glance there were more musicians waiting to jam than patrons - mostly stage crew types and boomers with broken dreams. But I gave it a chance and as the night got later, the music got better and the crowd more eclectic.

Then I realized that Bernie Williams (of the Yankees) was playing the congas.
For serious.

Gil Parris is the resident jazz guitarist and there was a ballsy hobo rock chick
named "Misty" who tore it up singing and playing the electric guitar on Billy Jean and Gimme One Reason.

The jam session runs from 9pm to about 1:30am every Wednesday night.
It was pretty neat. I'd go again. Join me, minions.
