Thursdays West side The First Tee 12589 Whittington Host: Rusty Winz	PLAYER REVIEWS - Your constructive comments go here:
FROM HOST - RUSTY WINZ The First Tee has an ample raised stage with seating that accomodates watching performers. The Open Mic offers a full PA with 2 microphones, instrument cables, guitar tuner, stage monitor, and lights. A Djembe and a house guitar are also on hand. We have an 8 channel powered mixer so we can accommodate small combos. We ask that you not bring large guitar amps or drum kits.   The Open Mic format is Acoustic Music, 3 songs, 15 minute maximum. Sign up is in person on a first come first served basis. All styles of music and all levels of playing are welcome. We do ask that you select music that is appropriate and acceptable for the audience. *This is not Karaoke. You must have your own live instrumentation or sing A Capella. *This is not a Band Jam. We have some great jams break out, but we do not provide a back line and do not allow drum kits or large electric guitar amps. *This is not a Comedy Open Mic. We love a good joke though. Let's have a drink and share some.

We have alot of friends in common, and he loves to send players around to different open mics. he's doing what is good for the community, and the respect he shows the players is creating a ripple effect through our world. Oh yeah - And he's a fine harp player too, just don't tell him I said so :)   FROM PLAYER - HOGMIRE I’ve attended as listener and player with enjoyable results. Place to try out some original material but covers always welcome. Rusty attempts to tweak the sound to aid in making everyone sound good. I have heard some pretty good talent plus patrons actually listening to performers.
