The inaugural open mic at Almost Home last Saturday was a good start to the weekly open mic. I opened the show at 7. Nelda Tone – shown with me in the picture on the left was next. Nelda is a storyteller and enthralled us with three of her inspirational stories.

I played a few more songs before Dylan Evan

Dylan Evan

arrived and signed up. Dylan, although relatively young, writes old school country. It’s a refreshing change from the music coming out of Nashville now. He and I were both semi-finalists in the B.W. Stevenson Memorial Songwriting contest at Poor David’s Pub.

Joey Tacos

Joey Tacos, the beertender, closed out the inaugural open mic.

It was a good night for the beginning of the open mic. Come on out this Saturday – or any and all Saturdays – for the open mic. List goes out at 6:30. Show starts at 7.

Keep writing the songs that are in your heart.

Peace be with you.
