My picks in the coming week:

Bird Mancini & T-MAX take to the patio at Grapevine on Saturday. Pam and I really like these guys and also, we recently visited the newly renovated patio and it really is a paradise. Wish I could make this but I’ll be in Gloucester.

It’s back to the Grapevine Sunday morning, for brunch and entertainment with Salem’s own soul man, Barrence Whitfield. I really should catch one of these shows, but work interferes. If you want to call what I do, WORK.

Friday, there is double trouble down at the Pig, with the weekly Blues Jam around 4:15ish, followed at 9 with the Michael Fioretti Band. YIKES!!!!

This list was put together with much help from STANSLIST. See his site here:  http://www.stanslist.com  Thanks Stan.

Go out and listen to some great LIVE music in the wonderful, strange, historic and hip town of Salem, Massachusenutts.
