Ashford Arms Open Mic 9/16/2010

As they say, you win some and you lose some.  While Churchill's open mic is on a hiatus right now due to lack of turnout, The Ashford Arm's Open Mic is growing in leaps and bounds. Last Thursday we had 21 musicians comprising 17 acts.  There were also 8 guests that were there just to listen. A million thanks to each and every one of you.

  2. Rusty,
    You should be proud of how this Ashford Arms open mic has grown into a quality night of entertainment. I think a benchmark was set this past Thursday. How can you top that? What a nice group of people you've got showing up to play and listen.
