Bernie's with new host
K.C., who has been kindly hosting the open mic at Bernie's for some time now, is taking a break. There was a new host starting Aug 4 so I went down to check it out and give support.
The role of host at the Bernie's open mic consists of the following apparent tasks:
- set up the house sound system and operate it all night
- show up early enough to start the o.m. on time
- keep track of who wants to play, and control who plays in what order and how long they play
- stay till the end
It started a little later than usual, but not too bad. First I accompanied the second player on his last song (Pink Floyd's Breathe, without Time in the middle). Then I stayed up there solo and played Sitting (Cat Stevens), Trip Face Boogie (Little Feat), and Requiem (Jethro Tull).
All in all there were some interesting players there and the night went pretty well.
