Open Mic Pictures

The first open mic I played on 1/3/09 at the Next Coffee Company in Glendale, AZ.  It had been about 10 years since I had actually played in front of people and I was a bit nervous.

Pictured here from left to right are Hannes Kvaran, Walt Richardson and me playing at Rula Bula in Tempe,  AZ 1/15/09.  I had no idea what we were going to play so it was a night of stretching myself as a musician.  We played some of their originals and various covers including some Marley.  It was a lot of fun.

This open mic at Rula Bula Irish Pub in Tempe, AZ happened to be the day that marked the beginning of another orbit around the sun.Jamming on my B-Day ’09
