Another Tuesday Bluesday rolls around and we’ve got great music here for you today. It’s pouring rain here in the Boston area. It’s supposed to be snowing by now, but it has been more than three years since the New England area has seen its ‘normal.’ Nevertheless, we keep on keeping on here in The Mermaid Lounge.
