Last night at BB Rovers, I filled in as a last-minute opening act for the Judith Miller Band, a great jazz trio I know. The keyboardist was late, and Judith asked me to go grab my guitar, and "cover for us" for a while.
The audience really liked my stuff, and they were very generous with their ovations. It was very different from hosting open mic nights where at least half the audience is other musicians waiting for their turn to play. These folks were only there to listen and enjoy.
I wish everybody could get a little applause during their workdays. I know it really put a bounce in my step that night. Nothing boosts the old ego like a little heart-felt appreciation.
