Next up a few pictures taken in Buddy Guy's Legends. The performers are Dion Payton and the 43rd Street Blues Band.

Love that wobbly effect building, but with all the ledges it looks like it would be a pigeon's paradise.
What's the story behind that mirrored ... thing ? Just a random piece of artwork or is there more to it than that?

I like everything inside that garage, especially the neon signs... I'd love the 'Bud light' one (shown in the 4th pic) for my room, so that at night I could bask in its glow in the dark whlist chilling, listening to tunes!!

Many thanks for sharing these. The US at its best always seems to out-do everywhere else - in the BEST way. At its worst, it's just tacky to a cold Brit like me.. Wonderful atmosphere captured there...
