another tuesday lunchtime another whinge about last nights open mic.
i was going to post a very long technical report of last saturdays recording session but i think it will be much more useful if i post three things about open mic night that i actually enjoyed.
- keiths set with joe etc. the sounds just worked together really well and keiths vocal performance was relaxed and sounded smoooth.
- joe playing crunchy blues on his gibson. he is easily the best guitar player to attend the night - he knows exactly when to play and when not to - gotta leave the spaces in between the notes.
- garys set. he doesnt play very often but like joe, he knows how to play as part of a group and i do enjoy his covers of old rock n roll tracks.
there are good things about open mic night, however, for every good performance there are usually two of three bad ones, not because of lack of skill, but lack of judgment, lack of effort and lack of respect for the audience.
