Beatle Bob vs. Bluebird
What's the real story here? I am curiously, perhaps temporarily, fascinated by this digital brouhaha. The Dancing One, who put me on his e-mail list some months back, is advocating against the Bluebird. If members of the Bluebird family would like to respond, I'd invite a note.
I have a theory on what's playing out here, but... that'll wait for another day.

Attention, St. Louis bands, club-owners & booking agents, and local media:
Just wanted to tell you about the Bluebird Club restrictions on bands that have been hurting not only the local bands but you groovy club booking-owners as well. I found out from some local band members who appear at the Bluebird club, cannot play another St. Louis music venue three weeks after they perform at the Bluebird.
This is totally uncalled for and is strictly unfair to both the bands trying to make a living as well as to the club owners who try and book the best bands for their fans. Let's all hope the bands stand up to these restrictions by boycotting performances at the Bluebird.
