It was a much different open mic than I am used to.
There are more young people there, which is always really cool for me because I love playing for people who are younger than me and I also love to hear what they are doing.
Than it was off to Mulligan’s Open Mic to play: “Urge” on the piano for the first time live ever! Than I switched back to guitar and did “Heart & Soul“, “Earth” and “One More Cup of Coffee“.
Than I went to the WOW Hall to catch the last few songs of Big Head Todd and the Monsters which I really don’t think I needed to go out for, since they didn’t even do an encore and their sound guy didn’t have a clue ;)
It’s funny because someone asked me before I played if I played my own stuff and I ended up only playing one of my songs in my set
Sometimes I enjoy playing other people’s songs more than my own, I think because sometimes it’s easier for me to really get into the song, I get a little more self conscious when it’s my song, all though when I’m playing Bob Dylan songs I do tend to forget what the words are.
On Wednesday, August 4th, Samuel Ferris Harmon will be playing Cozmic Pizza along with very special guest Hansa El Din!
Ask anyone who’s ever been to Mulligan’s Open Mic over the last few years and they will tell you about Samuel Ferris Harmon, or they will give you a blank stare and ask “Who?”.
