perform at an open mic night

I noticed that a place around the corner has a weekly open mic night and I’m sure there are plenty of other non-threatening looking places in the city too. I just need to work on my music and my nerves more! I’m hoping to do this within the next year.

Within this year I need to have this done. Period. No more excuses.

3 of the things I’ve shared here. A couple of Haiku and the elephant limerick. Had fun and I need to do it again and give ‘em more syllables next time.

I play and sing at our local open mic night most thursday nights. It’s been a fabulous inclusion into my musical life. I used to play my original songs over and over at home trying to perfect them, but the process is speeded up tremendously once you perform them in public…so good for the soul! I’d recommend having a go to anyone with the guts…wether you are good or bad, just have a crack at it! lol

Done! Looks like I found a new hobby. Worth doing.
It’s very difficult to gauge audience reactions. Even in an informal setting, you’re probably under a light and can’t see too many faces. But I didn’t bomb, so I’m pretty happy with how I did. Plus I got a few congratulations and heard a bit of laughter, so I may even stretch to say that I did well for my first time.

It’s happening this Tuesday, at a comedy open mic. Not much to say. I have five minutes and need to get that together tomorrow (don’t want to be over-rehearsed).
Whether I do well or not, this will be my first goal on this website completed since joining. It may be replaced by “Perform WELL at an open mic night” after this Tuesday. We’ll see.

Give me time and I might get up the nerve to do this.

I’m going to get shown around some of NY’s better open mic’s, and I am also being put on their mailing lists (as better open mic’s tend to be pseudo-booked, I guess). I definitely want to do this by the end of the month.
I’m going to put a bit together within the next week or so.

I’m taking off a couple of my long-term goals in singing and becoming famous and I’m going to go through it in smaller increments and this will be my first step. I want to sing some of my own songs at a few open mic nights, and then I’ll move on from this one…I need to learn guitar soon too though, so that I can play some acoustic with my songs. My friends Bobby and Matty(they’re brothers…) are both phenomenal guitar players and they’ve offered to teach me before so I just need to make the time for them to help me. Wish me luck. Loves.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever done. Period.
