Last evening we had our monthly open mic in the Ohana, a beautiful Hawaiian style cafe.
Our theme was the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Rock Festival.
We were so jammed we were limited to 2 songs!
So I loved Janis Joplin, but can't sing in her style, so I got up solo and did the only Janis song I Know, Mercedes Benz. A very good bassist backed me up and I led the audience in the song, I had it stored in my memory. Most of them sang it, except for the really younger customers.
I'm not a great singer, but I belted it out in F as best I could, and got several compliments.
I didn't do a 2nd song, so we'd all have plenty of time. We did.
