Setting: This was a loose jam at a Sunday afternoon party held at Rich Miller's home, mainly for survivors of the Apalachee Blues Society. There was a lot of blues but some other styles as well. Rain occasionally broke things up and I missed recording a bit at first. Here it is, warts and all. Sometimes it takes a bit for the songs to take flight and if you don't like one song, try another because there is quite a bit of variety. The musicians floated in and out during the songs so its hard to say who played what, where. I tried to note the lead person on each song. If I forgot anyone, my apologies. The central focus, if there was one, was the legendary Florida bluesman, "Sir" Charles Atkins. There is some handling and wind noise during Set 1.
