the New Orleans Suspects

• Jake Eckert: guitar, lead and harmony vox;
• “Mean” Willie Green: drums;
• C R Gruver: keyboards, lead and harmony vox;
• Jeff Watkins: tenor saxophone;
• Charlie Wooton: bass;  
  - with special guest -
• Fiver Brown: lead vox (t05).

Of course, we were unhappy to note that Reggie stayed home in New Orleans – still too weak to travel from his latest medical treatments? – but Charlie Wooton did a fine job filling in, and the rest of the band was absolutely on fire, kicking butt and laying down that greasy groove we wanted to hear. Makes me sad that I couldn't fit in another night's gig. Hopefully they'll be back soon!
