Last night was the last open mic this year at the Vinyl Café here where I live in Iowa. I went downtown for it. The way it works is you get two songs if your are doing songs, seven minutes for poetry and comedy acts. I was forth on the signup sheet. I really wanted to do Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice, then I had three songs bookmarked to choose from for the second. I couldn't make up my mind. Anyway, Don't Think Twice went so well and I got some good applause, I decided to end it on a good note. Haha, get it, good note. I called it quits.
Afterwards I was talking to the fellow who runs the open mic and they are looking for someone to take over as MC this next year. He wants to spend more time with family and he has other creative endeavors that he is into. It doesn't sound hard. Just get there early, rearrange the tables, put out a signup sheet, then announce the people when their turn comes up. I think that I could do that. The MC jokes around while the people are getting ready. Strums some licks once in a while if he can't think of anything to say, takes the first time slot to get things going. I could do that. It is only two Sunday evenings a month.
