Last night was an amazing night at the open mic night at the Garage in Winston-Salem. During my set, I played two original songs and a cover of R.E.M.'s hit, "Man On The Moon," which I dedicated to my friends in White Light because its bassist/first tenor Drew Hoffmann does a great job singing the lead on their version of this song at their performances.
The most amazing part about that night was my Vel Indica frontman Patrick Ferguson's performance of "...Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears. As soon as he sang the opening verse, a mutual friend, Adam Hutchens, and I got up on the stage and harmonised. Adam sang the higher harmony while I sang the melody along with Patrick. It was a lot of fun because this is one of my favourite Britney Spears songs and because Patrick is a great singer/songwriter and a cool guy.
Going up onstage and jamming with other musicians if they let you is one of the greatest things about open mic nights. It's an experieince that one may never forget.
