Another Open Mic and another success – after a couple failures. The KNA pickup I was using on my guitar broke, right as we were setting up. It just sort of snapped off (you’ll have to look it up on guitarcenter.com to see what I mean). We were about to mic up the guitar (which is always temperamental) when our host pulled a portable pickup out of her bag. Yay!

So, we got some noise coming from my guitar and got underway. Amber was outstanding. She’d rehearsed some of her chit chat between the songs and it sound like the delivered it off the cuff. Her singing was dynamic and engaging. She even did great on our “extra” song. (We packed an extra song in the set in case there was time, and there was!)

We got through our six songs and the crowd was enthusiastic. It was a good night (after the pickup fiasco).

P.S. In case you’re wondering, I got new pickup installed.
