The Tacoma native, and student living in Seattle and then Salem (visited Portland a lot) will not go away.

My favorite Tacoma haunts included The Spar, Enginehouse No. 9, The Beach Tavern, Katie O' Downs on the water, and The Swiss.

I used to like seeing Jumbalassy at Speed 'O Tubs in B'ham (really Fairhaven) as well. I hope you guys have fun and post pics!

I loved Speedy O's as well. I knew the daughter of one of the guys from Jumbalassy. I saw them a few times at Boulevard Park. I think they broke up. That's a shame, because they were the only Zydeco band around, at least that I knew of.

We toasted our fellow Fretters, Steve. You were there with us in spirit, anyway.
