Novato, California - 2022-06-13

Tonight there was an open mic night, so I went and met the producer, Mr. Donovan, and asked if I could play a few pieces on my Akai MPC Live II.  He welcomed me to perform.

I followed a fellow named Bob, with some very interesting blues guitar, and harmonica, and singing the vocals. He sung several songs, the first of which had lyrics including "Will you feed me when I am 64."

I was then given my turn. I let the crowd know that, up until that point, I was an open mic virgin. They were very encouraging for me to share the experience with them.

I am not a vocalist, but I started by entertaining the crowd with an old tune, sung by George Carlin in his Wonderful WINO radio days, which he attributed to the Organ Donors: 

I sent my sinuses to Arizona,
I sent my liver to Peru,
I sent my lungs and my kidneys, for the summer to Sidney,
but I am sending my heart to you!
