Bernie's open mic with tack piano sound

Went to Bernie's for the open mic. This turned out to be a good one: there were a number of good musicians performing.

I went second, and played Halfstep Misissippi Uptown Toodleoo (Dead), Novim's Nightmare (Cat Stevens), Grantchester Meadows (Pink Floyd), and Just Trying to Be (Jethro Tull). I chose Halfstep because I wanted to try out the tack piano sample from Nord that I had just loaded onto my Electro 3. It sounded great!

A couple of musicians I knew happened to be there in their own right, and I sat in when they played. Did a couple of blues numbers and a couple of originals of theirs.

Still going to open mics

Wow, it has been a long time since I updated this blog. I all but forgot about it. I've started going to Open Mics again, so I promise to start updating again.
