Key Palace, Red Key, IN

The owner of this club, Charlie, told us he bough this falling down movie theater 16 years ago for $1,000. In 16 years he has built it in to a thriving blues bars. The movie theater feel is still there and adjacent is a very cool bar area and a large restaurant. This is pretty much in the farmlands but people come from far and wide to see the national acts he brings in. On the walls are posters and photos of all the acts that have played there. It read like a who's who of the blues world. Charlie is one of these important people that are keeping the blues alive. I had a great time and i felt like we kicked some ass. I really feel comfortable with the new material now and look forward to playing it. I met a young lady Ashley (photo) that was actually into the blues. This is rare and it is always heart warming to meet someone like her. She was taking photos of Joe's guitar after the show with her camera and phone. It would be my pleasure to play here again... Thanks Charlie. PS I will be home in a few days after being away for about a month. I am really looking forward to being at home and spending tme with my lovely wife Ruby. We are celebrating 24 years of being together. I just keeps getting better every day. I love you Ruby.
