Another successful event with the Acoustic open mic at Whisky Jo's, to which I finished the whole thing in front of these six people who stayed around and the Whisky Jo's waitress.  It used to be that I enjoyed being the last act but nowadays it seems to be a mop up role and most leave except the host and the couple of faithful musicians who hang around.  Stu Pershing had to wake up at 3 just to get to work at 4 so he had to leave.  Getting the word out meant that the Kirkwood students have been able to play this.

For myself, with hardly anybody around, I pulled out some songs I haven't done recently and worked on them.  Peace Love and Understand got extended a bit since Patrick joined up on stage.  I did a Buddy Holly tribute song as well.  

Like last week, I didn't start playing till after 10.  It was a short batch of songs but I pulled the plug after Peace Love Etc.   By then everybody wanted to go home.

Since Kimberley sang on Wednesday, she took the night off.

Despite the presence of two other drummers (Mike from Notes From The Underground, Dustin Duwa), I managed to play a good hour and a half, with Kimberly who seems to have been to the majority of the year's jams that I have been part of.  Matt Panek took part in the first six songs.   Most of the jammers that started did come back up to play, Dave played bass on the final four songs.  Even Brett Johnson came up to play harmonica on the closer Kansas City.  We did a very interesting take on Fever on a version that I wasn't familiar with, but managed to put it together.  Kimberly nailed Gold Dust Woman to which she got a standing ovation.
