Long day, starting at 5:30 am to get to East Brunswick, but it ended up in style at one of the best open mikes in CT, Roaring Brook in Canton, CT. Run by Stan Sullivan, food by Anne Ramos, Nature Center by Jay Caplan. The Northford Boys (Pete Prizzi, Ron Anthony and myself) hit the road and we actually played one after another. I played an old Bo Carter song, former Mississippi Sheik from the 30’s, “I got the Whiskey and You got the Gin”, one I pulled from my Shimersville Sheiks repertoire. Eric Parradine sat in, and it was fun – I hadn’t played that song this century and more. Good to catch up with my acoustic friends in CT.
