Random Open Mic Blog Monday April fourth twenty eleven

So… I don’t really have anything cool or specifically awesome to blog about today.

So I’m just going to type about the open mic at the Gryphon Café.  I’m just hanging out here now.  I actually dilly dallied too long at my apartment and took my time making some dinner.  Oh yea, and I kinda sorta went on a bike ride since it’s super super nice out.  Sooooo I missed the sign up.  But the dude said that he would probably still let me play at the end of there’s time.  It’s ok… if not I’m just here enjoying some nice tunes.  And ya know, there’s always next week!

The first dude is doing Creep by Radio Head.  It’s a standard open mic song.  Almost as standard as Wonderwall by Oasis.  If you have never played guitar and you want to learn and you want to play your first open mic I recommend playing Wonderwall.

There’s never a bad reaction.  No matter HOW many times we hear Wonderwall we always sing along and like it.  It’s a genius song.

If you happen to live under a rock and have never heard of wonderwall like this guy:

Here’s the music video:

 

The other option is the song that I learned in the fall to play for someone and then never got the chance to play it…  that song is probably one of the best songs ever written…

Hotel California by the Eagles.  I’ll definitely cover that at an open mic here in the near future.

Tomorrow night is karaoke with one of my cool cat friends.  So that will be pretty awesome.  If anyone is in or around the area of Berwyn they should TOTALLY come hang out and do karaoke as well!  I promise it will be a ton o fun o.

Ok Actually you know I DO have something to blog about.  One month from today I will be playing a SECOND show at The Fine Grind in Lil Falls NJ!  So if anyone lives up in or around the area up in northern NJ they should totally come to the show!  It’s a Wednesday night and it’s from 7:30 to 9:30.

OOoooo exciting!  Hmmmm… ok I think that’s about all I gots for this blog.  I’m just going to sit here and chill and listen to some music and sip on my coffee and mellow out.  So.. speaking of things that end in out… peace out!
