Crazy camp-inspired idea - TG virtual open mic
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2013 1:05 am
This is an idea that may well flop...but I figure it could be a lot of fun.
The camp sounds like a huge success and everyone we've heard from has taken home cherished memories. One of the sessions that seems to have been really successful and was enjoyed by all is the open mic. It sound like a lot of people were inspired to get up an play and were glad they did.
I know it's not the same thing, but how about we start a TG virtual open mic busking thread. Anyone who'd like to get up and play to the TG crowd just needs to post a video. So those of you who attended the camp and played at the open mic but have never posted a video, here's an opportunity to play for a TG audience again. Those of you who are inspired by the camp stories and would have loved to have played in the open mic session, here's your chance. Dermot that includes you mate.
Anything goes, simple 2 chord strummers, mind-bendingly hard masterpieces; whatever you feel like sharing. And unlike the camp, you can play as many songs for us as you like.
If you think you'd like to join in but you have no idea what to record, ask yourself this - What would you play at an open mic if you had the opportunity?
I'm currently working on a Jason Mraz piece which I hope to record in two or three weeks. I have a terrible cold at the moment, a really croaky voice and I definitely can't sing now anyway.
So who's first? Daryl? Chris? Kevin? Dermot? Cori? Lynn? Ness? Step up, this could be a heap of fun.
