Just a few musician friends, dropping by
for some Rums.....
Jim Morris, John Patti, and Jimi Pappas
came by Casa Artrip for an impromptu rum tasting prior to their 2/9 gig at Margaritaville Key West

These guys are great musicians and performers, as their legions of fans already know. Last gig in KW this week is Sunday 2/10 -
check them out if you're in town, and find them near you!

The theme was "Celebration of Mount Gay Rums". $5 cocktail prices to the Rum Club attendees who braved the cold! (well, cold for Key West.
