Bob's Open Mic Monday 10th January 2008

Many thanks and a Guid New Year to Elspeth for updating the blog every week! As she's down with the 'flu, here's what happened on Monday! Post New Year, the pub was fairly quiet but we did get some excellent singers in (I didn't catch everyone's surnames, sorry!). After a few opening numbers by me, Peter got up and sang a slow-rock version of Michael Jackson's "Beat it" and one of his own. Chris and Dee then did a few including an amazing fast, jazzy version of "House of the Rising Sun". Glen and Gary (I introduced them as "The Bunnets":))did acoustic versions of various metal songs which sounded abit like Beefheart in a folk club :) and Joe MacAtamany did "Haul Away" and "Coorie Doon". Finally, after a long absence, "Polo" (just back from a tour of Genoa and China:)) did John Prine's "Speed of Loneliness" and joined in with me on "The Joker" and "Goodnight, Irene". A good time was had by all!
Bob
