Tonight, “Stouffville Luke” Gregory (guitar), “Uncle Pat” Yerex (Gut Bucket Bass) and I (clawhammer) got together at the open mic at Fair Grounds Coffee here in Long Branch. This is the first time the three of us have performed together. We played Bonaparte’s March, Arkansas Traveler, Old Joe Clark, Cripple Creek and Julianna Johnson.

The Fair Grounds open mic is usually the third Thursday of each month. It’s a lot of fun, very relaxed and supportive. We’ll be back.

Here we are doing our first ever tune together, Bonaparte’s March…
