If you're a blues musician or a vocalist, be sure to let the band know that you're in the audience at a Bluefish gig - they'll be glad to get you up to jam on a tune or two. If you prefer to just sit back and groove with the blues, it's OK to just listen. Be sure to click on "Rudy's Wall of Fame" link to see how many friends of the band you can identify.
