To N. Lincoln, Open Mic @ The Shire 9/15


the next night another open mic, this time a little further off -- a turn down roscoe a turn onto lincoln (the second we turned onto sheffield steve and i heard the boom of an announcer coming from the open roof of wrigley a couple blocks down where the cubs were about to bust lose from a 5-5 tie. at the end of the walk they were up 11-5). the shire's a handsome spot, clean and shiny with a sweet little set-up in the corner. many thanks to dan the mc for being so welcoming and to new friend dave sheehan for the pat on the back and the hamm's in the hand. lots of different sounds tonight, a noisier room than town hall pub but after the long wait to play it felt dang good to be up there. played a three song set and was requested a fourth from dan and co., encore's always welcome. tremendous thanks to the thomas siblings for waiting it out tonight, an open mic roster can be a funny thing:
