My most recent  open mike performance took place last night and was in the Under St. Marks Theater, a small hole-in-the-wall kind of location in a basement on St. Mark’s Place (which used to be the “main drag” of the East Village). There was a small crowd there, mostly composed of other performers. My “lottery number” was  high and I did not get a chance to play until 11:30 PM. The people who preceded me were quite far-out and  I was not sure how I would be received. I played one song and also told a humorous spiritual story and the audience seemed to enjoy it.I will be going back to the open microphone events again, so if you are in New York City just contact me and I will let you know when and where I am performing.

By the way: the open mike  where I performed is called, Penny’s Open Mike and is located at 94 St. Mark’s Place (between 1st avenue and Avenue A). It takes place every Tuesday from 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM)
