This was the first Rooney show at the Boulevard Cafe. Rasta Rafiki
had just cut their first CD and things were looking up. This venue
was a little larger and trendier than the Keg Room, but I always
thought the Keg Room had more of a taste of community and in its way
was hipper.
The Boulevard owners, Tom Hodges and Mike Lamb did try. For the Rasta Rafiki show they offered Jamaican Rum specials and had stocked the jukebox with Donna the Buffalo, Rusted Root and the Heartbeats.
