This photo (by Noona Walton)is a blast from the past. That's Texas Jimmy Drounette (from his long locked days)in the foreground being backed up by Airplane Dave Brown on bass at the Early Sunday Blues Jam at the ole' Dakota Creek Roadhouse (r.i.p.). Texas Jimmy D makes a quick spin through the Bellingham soon and plans to drop into the Wild Buffalo for Pat McFarlands appearance at the jam that second Tuesday of March.
