Fire House Ribs Gig

Over the weekend I was up in Big Bear, CA playing keyboards for saxaphonist Jessie Allen Cooper's band. We were at a place called Fire House Ribs, etc. The owner, Dennis is a former firefighter. This place is a cool BBQ joint 7,000 ft. up in the mountains about 100 miles east of Los Angeles. We played some "smooth" jazz, some blues, and a bit of classic rock thrown in for good measure.

Doug Lunn at a bar in Big Bear?

Not a bar - a barbecue joint. Although, you can usually find Doug at a bar somewhere in a town near you. I'll ask him to post his bar-hopping schedule soon.
