Sorry so long since my last post. The Open Mic the other night was a great time. Plenty of good musicians showed up to sit in, and it became more of a jam-fest than open mic. At our peak, we had a full band…two guitars, drums, bass, and even harmonica\/vocals.<\/p>\n
Some of the neighborhood kids joined in as well, including one kid on the violin and my own 8 year old on the drum kit. We tried in vain to get some of the girls to sing, but they were more interested in dancing. Oh well…can’t complain about that.<\/p>\n
Even more impressive though was how equipment just seemed to show up. Some plywood for the stage, and easy-up to give us some shelter from the sun. We were without a PA for the beginning of the evening, but then even that arrived miraculously.<\/p>\n
Most importantly, great fun was had by all…so it looks as if we’ll have to do it again soon! I’ll be sure to post a notice here as soon as the next date is determined. Thanks to everyone for all of the help and efforts to put it all together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
