Cool Cuts
Thursday February 6th, 2014 with Chris Sharp
Bands and musicians that are native to or based themselves in Florida

In the dead of another brutal Ottawa winter Cool Cuts heads to Florida for a musical tour of the state.
We start our tour of Florida in the extreme south.These two Florida immigrants settled in the Keys in the early 70's.Buffett's career soared and Neil soon retired from the music business.

As we head up the Gulf side of Florida our next stop is Tampa where these two bands got their start.Blues Image turned out to be one hit wonders and the Outlaws couldn't decide if they were the Eagles,Allman Bros. or Lynyrd Skynyrd so they decided to be all three.

Pay My Dues
