A huge list tonight. T’was wondrous, especially after a couple of slow weeks. I know, I know, my mom would say “ACT LIKE YOU’RE USED TO IT ROBERT!!!” but in all honesty, it’s just such a wonder to host so many marvelous performers. A couple of new peeps, plenty of my regulars – and a SURPRISE VISIT: our old friends Brightwire all the way from Houston, TX!
We do this every Sunday night at Morsbergers at 713 Frederick Rd, Catonsville, MD, 21228. Signup at 6.30, music at 7pm. Enter through the back at the LARGER of the two doors! (the other entrances are straight to the bar side and Boba Fett won’t always point the way!) For information about the photos and videos and usage thereof, please visit https://www.ilyaimy.com/robsopenmics/#videosAndPhotos!
A special note to DRUMMERS : we’d Love for you to join us and have a house kit (please bring your own snare, cymbals and – of course – sticks / hotrods), however I need you to show up early to set it up (6pm) and we HOPE you’ll be comfortable sitting in with other performers if they ask you to! Time is generally pretty tight and we don’t have time to set up the kit, play two songs for one act, and get your kit back off stage again. It’s gotta be there the whole night! Though Morsbergers has a lot of metal bands on weekends, the open mic night tends to be more singer/songwriter – please be prepared to play accordingly (hot rods encouraged).

I probably got through 3/4 of the night with a stolid degree of patience, but then we started to attract the attention of the BAR side, and in addition to our own packed populace we had a really chatty back half of the room. Probably just a holiday weekend of a problem. I won’t be back till NEXT next week, so we’ll see how it plays out.
Also – Morsbergers just installed a new mixer. I got to fool with that a little bit, made sure my phone was connected, got all invasive and nerdy with it – but decided I didn’t want to fool with it TOO much until I didn’t have a week betwixt foolins. Tim wired it up for recording for me – it WOULD be cool to use a house system, though I’m not sure how much angst it truly solves.
I just like other people’s toys!
