Blues musicians join together for Sunday sessions at Port Cape
Friday, October 31, 2003
The line between Bruce Zimmerman's blues band at Port Cape Girardeau on Sunday nights and its audience is as porous as the band's membership roster. Nine musicians, a number that changes by whim and the presence of their peers in the crowd, sit a mere yard from the first row of tables. They brush shoulders with entering customers and howl into microphones that, should they tip, would break beer glasses on the tables across the aisle. The saxophone players may shuffle aside for either a guest guitarist called up from the audience or a beer-mug-bearing waitress pushing through to the tables by the door.
