Tonight was my last time to host the open mic night at Rovers. For over five years, I've hosted the third Sunday each month (as well as countless other times when I was asked to substitute for a scheduled host who either forgot or otherwise couldn't make it). Time to move on.
Rovers will always hold a special place in my heart. It is my neighborhood pub, and it was the first place I ever performed solo on stage. It's also where I met Paul Teneyuque and Kaye Reznick (the other two-thirds of the Kaye Pasa Trio), along with many other musicians, including: Tommy Byrd, Kathy Street, Chrissie and Jimmy Joe Natoli (a.k.a. "The Better Halves"), Johnny Blue, Brigitte London, Kevin Marin, Judith Miller, the late Boomer Castleman, Lois Hess, Joe Gee, Jezebel Jones, Carlos Rumbaut, Overdue Bill, and many, many more.
Special thanks to David Patrick Dunn, co-owner of Rovers and the driving force behind keeping live music there. His mentoring helped me get started performing my songs.
