w/e 30/11/07 Open Mic -

Tuesday 27/11/07 Great Western, Warwick
Went back to where it all started.
It was about two years ago when I did my first ever open-mic at the Western. What a difference. I was a nervous wreck, before during and after, and that was this time. No seriously I am a much better performer. I still cock-up but that's fine and I handle it. I only do it for fun.
The two young ladies from the night deserve a mention in my despatches They were excellent. Very Excellent. One on Guitar, one on Flute, both sang and it was their own stuff as well.
I met some old friends who I expected to be there, missed some who were not there and saw some friendswho I was not expecting to be there. It was a late night and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I have become spoilt with having some monitors over the past few months and that was missing as I could not really hear myself.

Tuesday 6/11/07 - Greyhound, Beeston, Nottingham

A very empty pub tonight, so an extra song
In my Heart - Jon Chapman
Ballard of Bob & Rose - Jon Chapman
Drowned - the Who
Brain Damage/Eclipse - Pink Floyd
Behind Blue Eyes/Won't get fooled again- the Who. Started to add the opening few bars to this brilliant song. I will extend over time.
I felt I let my self down given that I had not played much since last time, not even at home. Will need to practice more.
Songs I was going to play were Better Man and Love is/Nails. The Greyhound is not a Love is/Nails place also my lack of practice meant I did not feel up for it.
