See http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay's_Upstairs for a little more info.<br /><br />The warmshowers house I stayed in is a jazz house. Bruce, the owner, as well as several other residents, plays jazz piano. He used to host regular monthly shindigs at his house, but now most of his free time is spent with his nine-year-old son, who is a bicycle racer (see Missoula #6) and has ADHD. Bruce used to be married to Eden Atwood, who has some little renown in and beyond the Missoula area as a jazz singer. My only musical adventure in Missoula was confined to hearing Bruce and other house members do some riffs on the keyboard.

One of my favorite all time stage races is in Baker City. And I played several gigs at Jay's Upstairs in Missoula - is it still there? I'm sure you hung out for some live music while you were resting. :-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MartyFixie Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04652595529832350792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807798446274138533.post-49951988359686028362013-06-21T13:46:04.831-07:002013-06-21T13:46:04.831-07:00That is a singluslarly beautiful cat portrait, Bre...That is a singluslarly beautiful cat portrait, Bret!
