What an amazing place with amazing people! I played a couple acoustic originals and then I sat back and enjoyed every single phenomenal song until 1am. So much talent in this place! I couldn't stop smiling the whole night.

Thank you, hope to hear from you

Please note that this is a gay bar. But of course friendly & welcoming to all.

What's the matter Shelly? I thought that was a rather nice comment. I'll be coming down some Friday pretty soon, and I'll have my charts with me! I love literate musicians!

This is an example of why it is so hard and impossible to offer any kind of constractive criticizm to open mikes in this website. It seems that all you are allowed to offer is blissful, happy faces and terrific possitive commensts no matter how bad an open mike may be because the minute that you do someone is extremely quick to pull the gun and shoot you with it (figuratively speaking) instead of taking two steps back and taking some of the value of these comments and using them for an opportunity for improvement. here is the Irony of it all! most people will respond by saying that you are negative and a whiner when you say any thing that sounds like criticizm but these same people are reacting very negative and whiny about the comments themselves. here it's why: when I read the comment of the humiliation by John Kaye, to me I did not interpret this as a negative but rather that the singers here are extremely good not that some one else is necessarily bad and I think that he was just trying to say that you should do your best and there is nothing wrong with that but some one else as I said was quick to attack and this is the reason why most open mics fail completely or never really become great open mics because there is always that little group of protective individuals that don't like to hear the truth about thins no matter what the intention might be.
