Well done everyone who performed at last nights show, I thought it was spectacular. It had to be the best one yet. The selection of songs was really varied and there was some great choices. Bravo everyone. :clap: :clap:

Also, thank you again to @TheMadman_tobyjenner @DavidP and @adi_mrok for organising and making this all possible.

And you can include @jkahn, Stefan. JK and Jeff (@nzmetal) have both stepped in to assist in the managing of our Community Zoom account to take some of the load off Adriaan. Mostly behind the scenes and for OM17 JK helped with recording, spotlighting, and muting.

Well done to everyone that performed last night and to all those organising and running the show. That was the first community open mic Iā€™ve been in the audience. Lotā€™s of plaudits to everyone, that was a fantastic show. You all played (and sung) very well. A night full of really great song choices.

Loved every minute of this greatest hits edition. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you to the organizing team and each performer. I think we can all agree that sole performances were just stellar.

Well done to all who performed at this OM. I missed a few sets due to some anxious last minute rehearsals while the show was running - desperately needed to iron out the repetitive screw ups. What I did see and hear was great but Iā€™ll catch up on the whole show once the video is available.

As usual a BIG THANKYOU to everyone in the audience. Having you there makes it feel as real as you can get pucker Open Mic, in that offline world that is out there somewhere. Not that Iā€™ve done one but this as close as I am likely to get !

Thank you all for your support.

Well done to all the performers you were brilliant as always. Great nights entertainment, cheers.

Special shout out to Nicole and her Proclaimers song (since Iā€™m Scottish) really enjoyed it :+1:

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the great show yesterday. I was amazed at the variety of song choices and high level of talent from the performers. I bet when Justin first started doing his course he had no idea how many peopleā€™s guitar playing skills would be do greatly improved. There is so much talent here in our group and I was amazed by every performance yesterday. Bravo everyone!
Jeff

PS I am long overdue to perform in one of these. Iā€™ll be signing up for the August show for sure once it is put on the calendar.

Thanks again to all performers and organizers :slightly_smiling_face: I said that already over one the other thread, which is now closed. Thus as the old German saying goes ā€œDoppelt gemoppelt hƤlt besserā€.

It was a fantastic evening full of greatest hits and one bovine protest song (I have to relisten to the lyrics when the video gets online, to find out if the cows got their freedom in the endā€¦).

It was a wonderful open mic, such wonderful performances. Big shout out to @Sebastian_Dewulf-Ortega for a wonderful debut with Bert Janschā€˜ Angie and @brianlarsen with the Bovine protest song being wonderful treats. Canā€˜t wait to see the recording.

Video in the making, havenā€™t watched it yet but sounds very promising according to Zoom AI :rofl:

The team discusses the importance of keeping control of the meeting during an open mic event and encourages everyone to shout, shout, holler, and applause during the performance. Sebastian, a new guitar player from Belgium, introduces himself as a new player and shares his experience with Joe Robinson, a finger star guitarist, and his son, Angie, who is a singer-songwriter. The team discusses their favorite songs, including ā€œI Come from Down in the Valleyā€ by Bruce Springs and ā€œIā€™m gonna be 500 milesā€ by the proclaimers. They also talk about their experiences with Bruce Springs, including seeing him in concert in 10 days. Colin plays two songs, ā€œLed Zeppelin going to Californiaā€ and ā€œSpend my days with a womanā€ written by Chris Christopherson. The audience appreciates Colinā€™s performance.

And also next steps:

  1. Sebastian will start playing guitar in 2023.
  2. Colin will play two songs this evening.
  3. Eric will perform the song to his level.

Adi each time you post this new AI feature it cracks me up :rofl: Does it do a limited audio grab of the spoken elements and then ignores the song elements ? Must do some ā€œresearchā€. God know what it made of my pre-song gibberish waffling as I try to settle the nerves, let alone Mr Larsen. Iā€™d like to know the AI take on Cows With Guns :crazy_face: :rofl: :sunglasses:
