Where o' where are the Reel Blues? The band has been on the radar for years, but I still haven't nailed down where the Reel Blues called home.
The Fabulous Flame Club is in Ft. Wayne, but the two pics come via Knox County, Indiana. Most probably Vincennes since that is where most of the band action centered. The most popular was "The World", as many of the best regional bands, and some bigger bands such as "Strawberry Alarm Clock" would play there.
Here's hoping that someone can identify the place the two pics were taken. Many people contributed pics and info over the years, but most of my handwritten notes prior to 2009 were lost in the flood that washed out the 60's indiana band szene central command. Thankfully, I'm pretty fanatic about digital copies and backups!
As the usual plea goes, any info about the Reel Blues, feel free to chime in!
And Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

The Reel Blues recorded two songs on a 45 during the summer of 1967. I would like to post the pictures (.jpg's) of the two songs and the record sleeve. The website won't accept these pictures.
Send them to me at vinylfool@vinylfool.net and I'll get them up. Any chance to hear them?

This looks like the Hayloft before it was remodled
