Venues I've Played

I thought it would be interesting to recall the many venues I've played in or at throughout the years. Of course I'll be adding to this list as I can remember the places and as time permits. This will be an ongoing list as my memory isn't what it used to be.
Those venues marked with a * indicate I've played there several times over the years. All of the genres of music that I play are represented in the list.
