Again, on the road to Torrington for this good but scattered Open Mike. It’s simply good to play out in CT, and cruise with Ron. I signed up fourth, so therefore, I went first. I opted for the pedal to the metal approach and did Shoo That Fly and Pay Bo Diddley. A fellow from the old New Haven scene came up on fiddle for the last jam, and it was nice. ‘Set the bar high’ was the comment I got from another open miker. Well, yes…
Good sets by Knot Brothers, Ron, and others, so it worked out okay. The guys running the thing are, unfortunately, a little too relaxed about the situation, so it runs long and tires the audience and the other performers out.
