Witnessed only by dozens of boxes of bathroom supplies in the Janco Supply Warehouse in Aurora, IL, the Dave Blair Blues Band held a reunion to record some of the songs they once played in school gyms, bars, and teen clubs in the Oswego/Aurora Fox Valley Area. They also performed regularly at the House of Omar (later Kuzola's) in downtown Aurora.
Dave Blair formed the group when they were students at Oswego High School in 1970. The band later became Walking Catfish and played bars in Aurora and around the Midwest. They were regulars at The Mug and The Likely Story in downtown Aurora and also played The Shamrock in DeKalb. As Walking Catfish they focused more on Rock n Roll.
