A veritable heatwave forced me out for the third time in a month—a birthday party
for venerable Minneapolis music writer Tom Surowicz (pictured below) at the even
older Schooner Tavern,  possibly the oldest continuously run bar in the Twin Cities:



Tom, a long time supporter of the Minnesota music scene, likes to get his friends
and musical acquaintances together for informal gatherings, paying it forward as
it were. The band on this night was fronted by John Beach (on keyboards) and
included his son (on guitar) and Mary on vocals.
Standards, Blooz and Jazz. Mellow.

Thanks Tom! Hope to see you again next year!
