Summertime Blues - Live at The Spirit Room, Jerome, Arizona - Jez Quayle & Dave Rentz

In May I stayed for a couple of weeks with friends in Clarkdale, Arizona. I played a few small gigs (my first in the US) and performed at this open mic at The Spirit Room in the lovely (and spooky) hillside town of Jerome. On this Eddie Cochran classic I was accompanied by the great percussionist/drummer (and multi-instrumentalist) Dave Rentz. It was a lot of fun!
Thank you Greg Jiede for the video!

Hi from Phoenix, AZ. Hope you had a good time in our State & it wasn’t too hot for you……Been a subscriber for awhile. You Rocked it !!!

[@RocknRollSongbook]

Thanks very much Tim! Yes, I enjoyed my visit to Arizona very much. It was VERY hot, yeah! Hence the sandals ...not very 'rock 'n' roll', but necessary. I visited the Heard Museum and the Musical Instrument Museum whilst in Phoenix. Have you visited Jerome? Thanks for being a subscriber! - Jez 👍

[@timleem3609]
