The Bold Stumps - Live at George's Tavern - Perfect Everytime

Four square and fair years ago ...

Aug 8 2018 - The Bold Stumps returned to entertain a Packed (Square and Fair) house at George's Tavern in Racine Wisconsin. Jim Haas, Bob Stepien, Mike Brusha, John Ruetz, Jeff and Paul DeMark and I  at George's - on Main St just one block north of the bridge, down the hill from St Patrick’s and one block west of the old coast guard station not too far from the water works, the yacht club and the former home of Walker Muffler near the Eagles Club and close to where the guys used to go smelt fishing as well as about 6 or so blocks south of Lakeview recreation park and the zoo.

We kicked off with Packed Fair and Square. Which we knew from J. Geils. The band was influential to us back in the day, as it was symetrically counter to prevailing wins at the time (long solos and jams). We also did Homework on this evening... actually as the formal set closer.

Recently picked up on Big Walter Price's original, thanks to old pal Nicke Rudelich. I'd heard it before, I guess on Eddie Gorderesky show, but thought it was Big Joe Turner.  Well we did our attempt here - it was not a show stopper, but it was a show starter! A splendid time. - Jack
