This may end up having a very short list of members. However I've seen many of my RI bass buddies post on TB so lets see how many of us there are. I'm #1.

I'm out of town now but just want to give a bump for my days on South Angell St in Prov. Some of the best shows I've ever seen were at Lupo's

Born and raised on Smith Hill, currently residing about half an hour east of PVD. I played many gigs at the original Met Cafe and Lupo's many moons ago.

Hey Rick,

Do you remember Harpo's in Newport?

Oh, and the Mishnock Barn, The Library and the Sunburst Lounge (above the Cranston Bowl). Now I'm just showing my age.

More Clubs

How about these great clubs from the past...Gullavers, the Library, El Toro, Christy's, Frat House then it became Xanadu's, the Classic. Lots of live music history here and an ample supply of first rate bass players as well!!!
