Open Mic Nights

So I have been hitting the odd open mic night to get out and play.

Most nights it is a rather small crowd but, it is fun to get up there and play. There is always good feedback from other players there.
The other night there were not so many people there to play. so I got to rattle through a good number of songs. There was a group of a 5 people at one table they kept joking around that they wanted to "Hear some Skinnerd" . Well I tried to play a Neil Young song ... Hey Hey My My ... well it went over well with them. That was the first time I've ever had a bunch get right into singing it with me and that was a lot of fun.

After I was done for a bit and stopped to have a few hot wings and a drink, the group that was singing along stopped at my table as they headed out and all of them said thank you and that I did a great job.
That felt awesome to hear. Usually you get the other musicians feed back but to have others give you a right on like that makes you want to smile for the rest of the night.

I am glad I decided to try it out and see if I could do it on my own somewhat.
Plus it's good practice of my own songs.
