The Adventures of Trebleclef, the Music Loving Monkey

Trebleclef made his first visit to the Bar Upstairs in St. Catharines.  Every Saturday, the Mighty Duck Blues Band invite guests to join them for an amazing Blues show.  Raoul Bhaneja and Darren Gallen of Raoul and the Big Time popped by that week.  It was incredible!
