The Best Jukebox for TMD Listeners in Key West

Key West is a classic rock/Buffett/pop town. And while there is a ton of live music here, most of it is cover bands ready to inspire another round of beers and tequila.

But the Green Parrot is where I would tell folks to settle in for happy hour. It has the best Blues and Soul filled Jukebox on the island. Buddy Guy, Robert Randolph, Hobex, North Mississippi All Stars and more. And the best part is you get 5 songs for a buck!

The Parrot also hosts a lot of live music at night too. Check out their webcam as well a list of bands playing soon. And remember...No Snivelling Allowed!

You never know where you'll find a Pietaster!

I'm down in Key West on vacation and the most amazing thing happened! Our guesthouse has a nightly happy hour. It's a friendly house, a small hotel really, and we've been coming here for about 10 years now. The happy hour bartenders tend to change from year to year so it's always a great time to meet new people. This year brought a great surprise.

Steve-the new bartender- hails from Ellicott City and grew up in the Baltimore DC Area. We got to chatting and come to find out, he was one of the original Pietasters. Actually, if I am remembering this through the haze of a couple Martini's correctly, he was with the band just before they took the Pietaster's Name.

Steve did a stint in the corporate world and now he and his family have gone the way of Jimmy Buffett down here. He's still a great music fan.

Well, back to Hog's Breath for a morning Bloody Mary and Conch Chowder! Not to Mention a Cheeseburger! I'm on vacation--so I'll try to stay out of their webcam view
