My favorite night of the week is on Friday. On that eve, I get to bike to the Thumbnail Theatre here in Snohomish and perform at the open mic night. If you\u2019ve followed my blog from the MySpace days, you\u2019ll know I always record my performances there, and frequently post them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This week, I\u2019m going to do something a little different. See, what I enjoy about the open mic is not just performing. No, I also enjoy the fellowship of the other musicians, and listening to a lot of great live music. For a couple dollars requested donation, it\u2019s a great entertainment value. So, this week, I\u2019m going to share some of the music, humor and faces of the other folks at the Friday Night Open Mic.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little medley of some of my musical colleagues. There\u2019s a little bit of me in here too; I\u2019m out of frame because I wasn\u2019t down there manning the camera.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

From kinda funny to really touching.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine your Santa-looking fiancee calls you up to the stage to sit there while he sings you a love song. He\u2019s been playing music for 50 years, and this is the ONE song he\u2019s always wanted to perform: Three Simple Words – I Love You. Then, you gotta sit there and not cry while some guy with a video camera has you zoomed in without your knowledge. Watch as she does her best not to cry\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
