Open Mic Invitation

[PapaRaptor]

I posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about finally playing at an open mic... on accordion. It was on a dare from the house keyboard player that I did it. It really was just for laughs and it definitely was a fun time.

Yesterday I got a text from the organizer inviting me back (tonight), along with the charts for two tunes that one of the regular OM singers wants me to play on... on accordion.

And people wonder why I drink!

From what I've experienced no one needs a reason to drink around here!! Well, unless you count, "I got up this morning...." Oh, and congrats on the invite!

I hear it is very difficult to find good accordion players. Sounds like you are in!!! ;-)!

It was news to me, too!

Landslide (Fleetwood Mac) and Love Has No Pride (Bonnie Raitt). Just looked at the charts he sent me. I'd probably do better just listening to the songs.
Luckily, Fleetwood Mac stuff is usually just two or three chords repeated over and over (and over and over).

Yes Landslide is pretty much just that

What? A guitar? What a novel idea!

First the hook......, now the line......, next the sinker.

Forever will it rule your destiny.
