CBG Open Mic Adventure

So, I went to the Burren last night - it's a very cool Irish Bar in Davis Square, Somerville MA that has one of the best open mics around here (and there are 10+ open mics most nights around here - check it out)

Now at this open mic at the Burren, the show starts at 8, but if you're not there before 5 you probably won't get on stage.

Well, I didn't feel like rushing over there after work yesterday, but I did want to go hear some of my favorite regulars and give CDs to several folks who had given me CDs or helped me out in other ways... but I took along the Cyclops CBG just in case.

Got there just in time to be the last one to sign up and got the 7:45 preshow slot - an OK time to play but mostly playing to an almost empty room.

That was OK... I wasn't feeling like I was gonna play very well anyway - boy was I wrong... It was one of those nights when the inspiration grabs you and you just shine... and wail, lol.

I got lots of "I can't believe how great that was!" and "what awesome authentic blues!" comments... And, even though I was playing to only 10 people, I sold a CD to a very enthusiastic new fan :)

Must have been something in the air, 'cause all those regulars I went to hear put on excellent sets as well. Just an all around good night.

Boston Moves to the Pacific Northwest...

At least that's how it seems with all this rain.

I think this storm by itself will beat Massachesett's 1954 May rainfall record of 12+ inches.

Well Damn!

I turn my back for a second and the Goddamned spammers start shitting all over my blog.

Here's what some asshole posted as a comment to a couple of my posts:
