I didn't see one compromising picture...
I guess I'll have to wait for Dancing Dave to post his blogs. Nevertheless, I could tell you had an amazing time confluencing!

Compromising?
Hi Bob...Dave here....out of respect for the Dancing Ones, we elected not to show anything that result in arrest/prosecution in international waters:)

ARRRGGGHHHH!!!
Dancing Dave was in Memphis and I didn't get to meet him!!!! I live here in the 'home of the blues' and hope y'all come back to do Beale St. and its music. The entire trip sounded like a great time. I LOVE the thought of 'Dangerous Dave'- Hmmmmm. I smiled reading the entire entre. Great words and great pictures. Great blog!!!! Carolyn/Gunga

Arghhh
Dave here.....(yes Dangerous Dave). Sorry you did not get to meet Dancing Dave and Denise. They are delightful. We had a fantastic trip. They spoke highly of Memphis, particularly the BBQ.

Cruise
What a trip!!!! Loved your descriptions. Was that your first cruise? What did you think as far as travel options go? I know the "blues" part of it was awesome but how about the "cruise" part?

Caribbean ?
You certainly had a great musical adventure there ...did you see any of the Caribbean sights . Cheers Lynne

Caribbean
Hi Lynne....Dave here.... We were on a cruise that went to Mexico, Honduras and Grand Cayman. Saw some Mayan temples in Mexico, Honduras landing was just a cruise ship port and we've been to Grand Cayman and did not get off the boat there. Everything was great on the cruise and we want to go next year.

Boogie Chillun
I'm so jealous! I spent my teenage years listening and dancing to nothing but the blues. BB King, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, Lightning Hopkins, etc. were my idols and it has been my lifelong dream to learn to play the blues harmonica. This sounds like the most wonderful experience ever.

Boogie Chillin'
Dave here.....yes, I danced, a lot. Great, great music. A fantastic experience. We plan to go again next year!

Mardi Gras Night

Magical, musical, mystery tour!
What a perfect confluence of a shared passion, music and dancing and fabulous people--not to mention stopping in some exotic spots! Best wishes for many more, you Blues Cruisers!

This is really nice hahah. Never knew they had such cruises. You guys have much fun on the blues-cruise. Greetings from Bangkok!!

Have fun!!
Dave here....we had a great time and plan to go next year. Well worth it. Great music!
4th February 2015

Brilliant!
These sounds the perfect combination - Travelbloggers, a cruise ship, and music. All three on their own are wonderful, but combined, it must have been a very special experience.

It was incredible
Hi Shane...Dave here. I mean "Dangerous Dave." We did have a great time and perhaps your ears were burning as we spoke of you. We told them the story of your phone call to us in Ireland. We also heard more about your trip with the Dancing One and Cockle. We simply must meet up some time....cheers!

thats what I'm talkin' bout
Amazing time..... envious of this saturation of the good oil. Fantastic
4th February 2015

Great times indeed
Even though we blog, words were hard to come by to adequately document the experience...many senses in play at all times.....it was great!

Love the hat and anklet!
4th February 2015

Eeeeeeekkkkkk....... I'm so jealous!
Almost forgot you guys are meeting up. Dancing Dave told me about the planned meet-up in January but this..... On a cruise, dancing, drinking, rockin' to the blues! Eeeeeeeekkkkkk...... You guys are having too much fun without us! I don't know much about blues' music but i do love to dance like Dave and Denise ---- uh, ok, you too Dangerous Dave ---- and i can imagine what fun you guys had. How mah'velous! Keep rockin'

Enjoing....da....blues
It was a wild, wild, week with our friends the dancing ones! So much fun we can barely describe it. Action back and very little sleep. Wish you could have been there. We danced and danced. Fine food, music and friendship. It was grand.

" There's not even an alley to hang out in"
Those were words my kids said when growing up in Colrain, MA ( pop.1,500 or so). To them the 'big town' was Shelburne Falls ( pop. 1,850 or so). Sh. Falls has been used as a back drop to several movies- 'Labor Day' with Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin ( a dud of a film), and 'The Judge' with Robert Downey, Jr., and Robert Duval. It showed off the town and the surrounding countryside beautifully- even used the road that went right by my kids' school. I grew up in Boston and now lie in a big city but I loved living in a small town. I miss the hill of Western MA and the wonderful community of strong self reliant men and women. Thanks for giving small towns a shout out. Carolyn

Small towns
Good hearing from you Carolyn. Smalls towns have a great deal to offer for the right people. I'm more of a city girl who likes to visit them at festive times of the year. Thanks for reading along.
