Well, I went to the variety show at the local elementary school (my wife had a few piano students in the show) and I have to say -- Taylor Swift is firmly entrenched in the young girl's hearts and minds. Two students did Swift tunes, while a few others listed her as their hero. Didn't hear much about Kayne, though. Good talent and a pretty good show for being just kids!
Went to an open mic the other night (not playing, just listening) and it was the night of the long sets. The first guy played four songs and then the next act went on and on and on and on. He even asked how he was doing on time and I called out to Brian (the host) and the guy on stage just broke into another song. The next guy in line had an electric guitar and he just plugged in and started playing along. They ended up playing two more songs!!! I went outside and I stop clapping after the third tune. He must have been up there for 40 minutes!!!!!!! Gotta talk to the host about that. Maybe he was the "featured act" and I missed the memo, but I just think he was rude and oblivious to open mic etiquette! Oh well, life is tough out there.
