(Chasing The devil with God chasing me on this trail. Part 3) #BlueBirdCafe Nashville Tennessee "If you can't rock any crowd. You just suck." links included underlined
Most of the crowd are their to watch. There were only twenty five of us chosen. Had to call a number between 12 and 1 pm. Took me twenty minutes to get the reservation to play open mic. 21 was my number. At the table there was a sixteen year old girl with her mother, they were from Canada. The girl's song was awesome. Also sitting with us was a family from Dallas, they were there to watch. The father is a police officer. He had been friends with the policemen killed.
...these gals and guys are good. I am outclassed. Gonnah make a fool of myself. I think the riff to "Hit That Road" is good. Hit that Road SynergyNights Original riff from Me and Robin Lane
There's hardly any room to walk. These acts are stellar. Kind of acts you'd see on mainstream tv and internet mp3s. They came from all over. A few of the acts were there from the UK-they sounded more American than some of the Country singers.
Then there's me sounding like spoken word over acoustic slide; and most of the openmics I've done have not been great-But every once in a while I can rock you!
I think I'll add some lyrics from "Chasing After The devil While God is chasing me on this path"
I was the only one from Mississippi with a Dubro and Blues Slide-possible the only one taught Blues riffs in Clarksdale Blues Museum.
I finished. Did my best-I'll be back in a few months better than now. Hit Dat Road live Blue Bird Cafe July 25, 2016
I go outside to get air. Come back to my table. The Host comes back up and says, "The following numbers will go again if they choose to..."
I am crossing my fingers to not be picked...
"...number 21, Holmes."
"If you don't want it my daughter will take it."
"This is what you came here for," the father from Dallas says.
"I'll do it," I sigh.
Dang I haven't practiced for a second one in mind. That's not totally true. I been doing open mics pretty steady, at least 100 a year for the past 3 years, 2013.
Also I have about four months experience, 25 times, from Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale Mississippi back in 2009-2010.
What will I do? Now I am number 9. Have about fifteen minutes to figure it out.
