New Open Mic Video, 4 songs.
Hi Stick Folks.
Its been a slack disjointed time musically in 2017 and already its May! However , I dragged myself out last night when a mate in the network invited me to a new venue he was having an open mic at.
Anyway , off I go with the Alto after some frantic practice time. He videoed the whole thing as it turned out.
I was was going to cut it down , playings a bit loose, but here it is mistakes & all. Two of my instrumentals followed by two covers with vocals.
Had a ball, now I'm inspired again to tighten up and move ahead. A few slips you'll hear on the way but these nights are the best places to do that
The first track is shortened on the video, but all the others are as they happened, odd how I digress in the heat of the moment , at various times I just played it not the way I normally do and mostly got away with it ( sort off ), found myself experimenting with Steve A's " waterfall" in the dying seconds of Layla, the last song. Having people singing the last chorus of Layla was a nice moment.
Enough said, its about 12 mins .
Melbourne currently has about 18 open nights listed just on a Wednesday, so plenty of chances to hone things live.
