~~~Ongoing Blues Jams & Shows~~~
To be added or make corrections to our Blues Jams & Shows list, send email to: info@houstonbluessociety.org (Attn: Webmaster in the subject line). Thanks! (By the way, the Ongoing Blues SHOWS link on the right sidebar (below Jams) does not work so I have combined Blues Shows in with Blues Jams so we can get those bands listed who have a regular show which is not necessarily a jam. I look forward to either eliminating the "Blues Shows" side bar link or getting it to work). LK-HBS Webmaster
