Now I’ve Got to Get My Act Together

This is my first experience with writing to a blogsite. Sometimes you feel like you’re speaking into thin air. In other words, you never knew if folks are listening or not. Well this may be changing. Last night the folks that run the http://www.mokanopry.com/ website paid Heartland Unplugged a visit. They publish to their website information about area jams, such as ours. They were very nice and complementary in their write up about HU. They’ll never know how much we appreciate that. Anyway, they published a link to this blogsite, so now I’m afraid that someone may actually be reading this. So I had better start being more regular about writing to it. We had a very comfortable, fun night of music last night at HU. Most of the regulars showed up to play and sing. Once again we held it in the Friendship Room Hall of the Church. This room has small tables that are just right to hold the cheeseburgers, chips and drinks that are served. The casual atmosphere helps to promote friendly conversations. For the jammers who sat in a circle and passed the microphone, the new wireless microphone that Doc picked up at the Musician’s Friend outlet store worked great….no more mic cable to bother with. The extra jamming rooms made a great place for seasoned musicians to play together. They also provided a place for us folks just starting out to get together and try to come up with songs that we can later play and sing. We continue to get compliments about what a great campus the church is for this kind of thing. Everyone’s crazy about all of the soft chairs with no arms, too. I don’t think people were thinking about us when they first bought these chairs, but they certainly did us a big favor. You won’t want to miss the next HU. It’s always held on the fourth Friday of the month, from 7 ‘til 10pm. Hope to see you there.
