Hey Jarrod! Welcom to the family! I'm a retired computer programmer, trying to write songs I can not be embarrassed to say I wrote LOL. I play 2-4 open mics here in the Ocala, Gainesville, Florida area. Most folks [that do music] play cover tunes. I usually only play my originals. At least to date, I haven't been booed off the stage LOL. Thanks to MAB and his good friend, Allen Sherville, My best success hax been doing a three song set at 360 Burger in Nashville. When I do make it to Nashville, I try to do 2-4 open mic's. Commodore and Douglas Corner. NOTE: That IS open mic's. There is a definite distinction in Nashville between open mic, and writer's nights.. My goal is to try and make enough writer connections [A.K.A. friends/RELATIONSHIPS] there that I can get invited into some of the scheduled writer's rounds when I come to town.
