Hello Richard! If you have any spots left I’d like to throw my hat (and self) in there ring. I’ll plan on covering “Mad World” by Tears for Fears and “I Love You, I’m Sorry” by Gracie Abrams. If there aren’t any spots left, perhaps I can sit in the audience ?
Kevin in the Pacific Northwest +8 I think?

[SDKissFan]

Pacific time should be UTC -7 I believe. Same as me. Lots of math to figure out what time it is in London vs. here lol. Looking forward to hearing your performance.

Jeff from San Diego CA

[kevguitar]

Thanks Jeff. Yes, I was having difficulty with my maths . Perhaps we should all go to Zulu times? Then there’s the whole daylight savings deal… Looking forward to the event. Thank again. (Rumor has it that Gene Simons lives close to me, though I haven’t ever run into him.) Cheers!

[SDKissFan]

That’s really cool. Ace Frehley lived here in San Diego. Never saw him either other than on stage at a show.

[C_McG]

An audience seat for me please!

[Alexeyd]

You should play a tune or two… I miss hearing you play

[DavidSGuitar]

Many thanks for the encouragement, Alexey

I do intend to play at another Open Mic but I am currently targeting one of the events later in the year.

The list of performers for 25th April is shaping up to be a great event and I look forward to your contributions!

[domi7]

@Richard_close2u or whoever might continue organizing…
I think that OM group chat usually starts a week before, or so?
Maybe it didn’t start yet, but if it did you forgot to include me!

[Richard_close2u]

@domi7 - it is on list of things to to this morning …

[domi7]

Oh I didn’t want to jostle!
I just remembered that on earlier open mics, a few times I found myself thinking “oh, that’s really early to start chatting about the upcoming open mic”, but it was probably always around the same time.

[Richard_close2u]

You’re right @domi7
The chat normally starts a little sooner than I have this time around.

[Sonix]

Can I have a seat in the Audience please? Thank you!
