One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to sit on a patio, listening to great music, talking with friends, having a drink and last night at Stanley’s Pub I got to do all of them! Four bands played the blues beginning with the Leo Clarke Band. We missed them but loved Band #2 — Chuck Brisbin and the Tuna Project. Odd name but they were great.
