I DJed 3 nights. Due to the level of experience with blues, most (if not all) music had to be on the lower end. I played about 7 hours over the week (maybe a bit more), which depleted my slow(er) music stash quite a bit. I may have repeated some songs out of necessity.

Austin Blues Party, 7/5/09

I played during the BBQ that happened on the Sunday Evening. Original plan was to do an hour with John Brooks also doing an hour, but he ended up being late, so I played 2 hours all by my lonesome.

Someone else had played "Got You On My Mind"
