Last Tuesday I forewent my usual trip to F.E. Pop’s to take an end-of-summer trip to Benjamin’s Bakery in Surfside Beach, South Carolina to play their new open mic night. My girl lives down that way, and she’d never seen me play live before (although I send her videos of my pianistic noodling on a regular basis), so we decided to take advantage of this opportunity for her to hear me play a few tunes. It was a fun evening, and a great opportunity to meet some new musicians in a different town.
Unfortunately, my girl was so enraptured watching me perform (and a little girl grabbed her attention for about half of my mini-set), she didn’t take any video of my powerful coffee shop crooning. That performance is now lost to the mists of time (although I will always remember it; I hope she does, too!).
As such, I’m going back to the night of Tuesday, 26 July 2022, featuring a duet with my buddy John Pickett.
