Good morning, bluesologists and welcome to another Tuesday Bluesday in The Mermaid Lounge. We begin the festivities and the blues month with the ladies large and in charge!
Here’s your Tuesday Bluesday Lineup:

EC’s friends include Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Joe Cocker, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Ray Cooper, Andy Fairweather Lowe and others in a benefit concert (The ARMS Concert) for friend Ronnie Lane, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1979.
8:00 p.m. The James Cotton Band Live at The Shaboo Inn, Willamantic, CT, December 6, 1974
We close out the Tuesday Bluesday programming with some great live James Cotton from what may seem an unlikely place called The Shaboo Inn in Willamantic, Connecticut.
Before, after and in between we give you our big, wide Open Stream. It’s a 24/7 commitment here in The Mermaid Lounge. Best of all, there’s no charge and no commercial advertising. We’re anti-capitalist.
