Message from the Road... This blog is to review the local watering holes and interview bands. I have been a photographer for 30 years. In that time I have shot extreme sports, special events, and unique images. My mission of the day has always been the same...wait, watch, and let the person truly express who and what they are about. The music scene is the venue for eclectic individuals who always delivery sources for good times and great stories. This is about enjoying music and people. Please stop me and tell your story.

ABS at Key Largo

I caught the 2nd set of ABS on St Pat Day. The music was a wonderful blend of Funk an R& B. The lead Richard Allen keep the band trucking down the funk trail . The Master Bassman Ernie Bedel was outstanding . Lead guitarist Steve Ragsdale was tight with the always there percussion line by EJ Bedel and Richie Allen. Overall a great band with a real sound if you get a chance go see them. Key Largo is just north of Republic Road at...1281 east Republic Road almost to National. Parking is best around back . One of the best draws to Key Largo is the size of their dance floor, Large enough to party and small enough to meet someone new.
