As I'm lucky* enough to live on the Belgian coast, our town has concerts staged all through the summer months. I took this photo of the keyboardist in an excellent cover band who do a special tribute to 'The Blues Brothers'.

It's a bit noisey, I know, but please feel free to leave comments!

Except from the town being taken over from the tourists in the summer!

No its not bad its cool. I like the title. At first by looking at the thumb I thought the guy had a huge box of candy. I don't find the noise at all bad since its mainly in the Out of DOF background. Hope they sounded as cool as they looked. Ken

Well right in my hometown of Toronto, Canada. John Belushi was a frequent patron of the Isabella Hotel on Sherbourne St. in Toronto. He was a member of ?Second City? at the time. The unofficial house band at the Isabella was The Downchild Blues Band, which was led by Donny Walsh, and his brother Rick Walsh was the lead on vocals, he was known as "the Hock" as in ham hock and the style of the Blues Brothers was taken directly and a tribute to Rick Walsh who later had his own blues group known as the "HOCK" and who has unfortunately passed away. Who knows, maybe he and Belushi are gigging together eh!
