Mike McCall replied to Jud Hair's discussion Is Open Mic in Some Ways Harder than a Straight Gig? in the group Coffee House Players"Open mics are absolutely harder for me.

Mike McCall replied to Jud Hair's discussion How do you deal with stage fright ... or "butterflies", etc. in the group Coffee House Players"Jud....I've been playing live for about six years now.

Hey Mike, welcome to the Coffee House Players group! Looking forward to "talking" to you there. I have been playing coffee houses for years and even ran one for ten years with a friend. For a while I thought they had run their course but now they seem to be coming back.
I see you also have a Gibson, consider joining us in the Gibson Owners Group too!
