Tonight's show was great. I hosted a dozen guests in the Sunday open mic at B.B. Rover's Cafe & Pub. Regulars included: Kaye Reznick, Jake Riggs, Danny Fast Fingers, and Overdue Bill. Paul Teneyuque also showed up, but he arrived too late to play. Also performing last night: Jim Cleveland, Gene Douglas, Daniel Varcleford, Xochitl, Andrew Castro, Travis, Twitching Kitten, and The Cool Hand Ukes.
Twitching Kitten boldly tried to introduce the acoustic crowd to some non-acoustic sounds. They followed their friend Travis, who stood with just a harmonica. His middle selection was "The Wild Rover," and I was the only one in the bar who knew how to sing it, but (with my help), we eventually got a few audience members to sing along on the chorus.
All the way from Sacramento, CA came the beautiful voice of Xochitl (pronounced SO-chee) and her friend Andrew Castro. I traded CDs with both of them. Xochitl kindly autographed mine with: "Your open mic ROCKS my California soul. -Xochitl."
My ukulele friends Nancy, Lita and Gary closed the show, performing as The Cool Hand Ukes. I hope other members of the Austin Ukulele Society take this as a challenge to get out to more open mics, especially mine.
I also had a very special guest, not on stage, but in the audience: my mother. She bravely stayed through the evening, enjoying the music and the BBR burger.
