Blues Room down the tubes? Or just Al and Bill?
Is the Blues Room going to change its entire concept because they’ve decided this live music stuff doesn’t make enough money? Or maybe they have other ideas about how to go about it. I don’t know what the place has in mind, but they are cutting off Al Gordon and Bill Heid’s performance contract a few months earlier than they were originally signed up for, which means the duo’s last day performing there will be this Thursday, January 31 instead of the end of April as originally agreed.
If anyone else knows what is going to happen over there, please leave a comment here. If I find out anything new I’ll be sure and let you all know. For now, though, I can say if you want to hear Al and Bill’s dynamic duo playing everything from blues to bebop, then you better go check them out in the next couple days before they finish.

It seems to be half full these days- much like their wine glasses!
There used to be a young guy with a guitar on tuesday nights- but this week there was ballroom dancing.
Maybe the crowds have got fed up with the indifferent service. Music has always played 2nd fiddle there to getting their over priced half filled drinks sold
