Got a brand new guy to unwrap on you this Thursday: Mr. Johnny BlueHorn neé Morriconi or something like that. Been hearing about this dude for years, had a chance to play with him recently and he just knocked me out. Get this: he toots the trumpet and sings and basically sends one into the stratosphere. Love his toons. A real showman! Not only that, but our old buddy Ricky “Burger King” Russell will be returning on guitar and vocals after a long recovery from cosmetic surgery. I’ve missed him! Hope I recognize him! Drum chores filled in by the spattering pile driver hisself: Mr. Ephraim Lowell. Or is it E-frame? E-mail? I dunno, but he does. I’ll be there, too!

It’s shaping up to be a very cool 2015 holiday season at the
Rhumb. We start with the great Chick Marston this week.
Face it. He’s the Grand Master. Such a wonderful study of the
American folk blues genre. Next week we’ll be doing a toy
drive for the first time EVAH with Marina Evans. The 23rd caps
it off with Sister Linda and Brother J.B. That’s right… another
Amero Family Christmas. It always starts early… 7pm! ~ Fly
Dinner with great music!
*Each week features a special, invited musical guest
Dave Trooper’s Kitchen…
Prepared fresh weekly by “Troop”… always good!
Plus a fine, affordable wine menu!
Upcoming…
12/16 – Marina Evans Toy Drive (see below)

12/23 – Amero Family Christmas

Visit: http://www.therhumbline.com/
Looking forward…
…to seeing you there 🙂

On Wednesday, December 16, Marina and I will be joining
hands (and voices) on behalf of “Pathways for Children”. We
hope everyone can pitch in with toys and books for the North
Shore kids in need. Feel-good stuff all the way. I’m very much
looking forward to this night. More details as we get close. ~ Fly
