Wednesday's 10-20 Open Mic

Lot's of people came by to play music last week.  If you'd like a spot, come out early and sign up!



Last week we featured Frank Schmidt, with the house band.  Check him out on this number.



A few shots of the evening.










See you next time!

Wednesday's 10-13-2010 Open Mic

The good news is that the Second Street Open Mic has been growing more popular each week.  Which also happens to be the bad news, if you are a musician, anyhow.  Last week we had about twice as many folks showing up wanting to play as there were time slots available.  So, my advice if you want to play this Wednesday is to show up early and grab yourself a slot!

We used an ultra fast camera to catch a rare image of the famous Ernie Bob speeding between the tables last week!



Our friend Jim came down from Los Alamos and laid a couple of numbers on us, with the house band sitting in.



A couple more pictures from the evening.  You can check out all the pics here.







See you next time.

Wednesday's 10-6-2010 Open Mic

It's going to be another pictures-only post today -- hey, you get what you pay for...

Pablo was the open mic moderator last week.


One or two cowboys snuck in.



A few locals:





A pair of duets:



And some of the usual riff-raff:



That's it for last week, see you next time.

Wednesday's 9-29-2010 Second Street Open Mic

Last week's open mic was a study in orange.



Well ok, not really.  But it was musical.


Second Street is baby-friendly, too.




Back to the "musical" part.  Fairly early in the evening Ashliegh led a group us off on Do Right. During which Frank Schmitt got a little silly, but in a good way.



Immediately afterwards, Steve Rose showed us how Stray Cats Strut.



Daniel Trujillo came by.  I haven't seen Daniel in over a year, much less played any music with him.  I could not resist jumping in for a bit on this number.



We finished up the music last week with JJ and Jesus.



Yes, they sounded good.  Here's a small sound bite.  Come by this week to hear more.

Of course we had a slew of other musicians come by and play.  Drop in this week and be one of them.



See you then.
