When you're playing open mic's like me, it sure helps to have friends. I was supposed to go to Gainesville (a 45 min. drive) tonight for an open mic. Thanks to friends, I got a phone call from one of the regulars who told me this week it had been moved to Friday. Saved me a drive! Well, not really. I had another reason for going to Gainesville tonight. A Gainesville local singer/songwriter, Lance Howell, hosts a "invitation only, Songwriters In The Round", the last Thursday of every month. Another local singer/songwriter friend of mine and a second singer/songwriter friend of mine who lives in Sarasota, Florida, are always looking for those kind of venues to play. Tonight, I took their business cards to Lance to let him know there were 2 more really good singer/songwriters I think he should consider for his Songwriters In The Round night. Hope it works out for everyone.
