This is the same jam, just the next week.  This night is interesting because you get a little taste of some local culture.  The Creole Man is Amedee Frederick (IV) and his son, Amedee Frederick V, is the one that runs the jam.  Here is a link to a little family history: http://www.frenchcreoles.com/CreoleCulture/creoleexperience/Amede%20%20Fredrick.html and http://amedeeblues.com.  I remember years ago at a little home town festival on the lake front that I was playing at, Amedee senior borrowed my 1959 Bandmaster and my 1962 Strat to play his set.  He broke a string right before going on so I loaned him mine.  I didn't know who he was since I didn't grow up in this area but I had heard his name mentioned over the years.  Father and son both play at the New Orleans Jazz Fest every year in the Blues Tent.  Louisiana Creole culture goes way back to the 1500's I think.  This night there was even a flutist and a cellist from Moldova (between Romania and Ukraine) that showed up to jam.  I stayed out of the way to give more space for the other guys to play.  It's fun just to relax and enjoy the music.  

The ES 335 is another guitarist's guitar and I am pretty sure it is an original 1968.  He was playing on a reissue Marshall Bluesbreaker combo.
