Full Blues Beatles Concert, The Villages, May 2019

I've had several requests if folks could view the now-legendary Blues Beatles show from May 15, 2019, so here's a link. This was a sold-out Villages Blues Society performance of almost 2 hours. I was asked to join the band for this show, and I had a blast!! I had previously posted some song-length videos that I shot with a side-mounted camera, but this full concert was shot by Hugh Malloch, who does an amazing job traveling around FL and documenting concerts. I join the band at 34:45.
