Coolio musicians meet friendly audiences at
Open Mic in Fairfield. I enjoyed three of these after they
started up again in January at
Cafe Paradiso. That alchemy combined with Tuesday's practice when we were developing a new Celtic-bardic-ballad-sounding song and somebody said it might sound nice with just guitar and voice. The cauldron brewed until Wednesday evening when a new idea wafted up, so I emailed Mike about Open Mic and the notion that he and I could duo as a low-tech taste of our band.
Open Mic that night was beautiful and touching with storytelling, poetry, and singer/songwriter sounds. Mike liked it and we're getting songs ready for some time soon.
Update, March 12, 2013:
We did perform that Celtic-bardic-ballad-sounding song at Open Mic on April 4, 2012. We call it
Would You Catch Me.
