So there we were last Tuesday at Churchill's Open Mic. It started off a little slow. Seems people just don't get out as early now that it stays light so late. Nonetheless we kicked things off with a nice selection of songs by Doug Michaels and Mark Ellinwood.
Dennis Glendenning made his second appearance on Churchill's stage, and it's always a pleasure to hear him.
John Barton went on next and brought Wayne Lacey to back him up on the Djembe.
Amy Waters returned to Churchill's Open Mic. Amy is still very new on the open mic scene and is becoming more confident and proficient each time she plays. We love new players. It's a joy to watch them progress and hone their skills.
Bruce Ross returned to Churchill's after a short hiatus. I'm not sure what he's been up to, but we are glad he's back.
It seemed like just an ordinary Open Mic. Maybe a little slower than most nights but the music was good and the crowd was happy. Then......it happened. A jam broke out! Two of Houston's finest blues harmonica players were in the house. Randy Soffar plugged in his guitar, Stephen Daly sat down at the Djembe, and Larry Bernal of the H-Town Jukes and "Little Terry" Rogers of Little Terry and the Blue Birds started jamming away. It didn't take long before Mark Ellinwood joined them on lead guitar, and Bruce Ross hauled out his bass. Man at that point all I could do is just sit back and enjoy.
It was a great night of music and friends. Many thanks to everyone that supports live music and open mics.
