Ken,

Thanks for the luck. BTW, I'm a fairly agile person and hopefully will be able to dodge any refuge thrown at me. Also, I have a feeling the crowd will be mostly an older crowd and so hopefully I will be able to outrun them.

Chuck,

An 'open mic' typically is a stage with a microphone. You show up and sign your name up for a performance. Then you go up the microphone and perform whatever you like (sometimes there is a time limit such as 5 minutes or sometimes there isn't, but generally it's just one relatively short piece per person, and then if there's time you can go around again after everyone who'se wanted to gets at least one shot). Common performances are an accoustic guitar piece, someone singing with a guitarist or accopello, a dramatic poetry reading (sometimes just a reading, not so dramatic), if there's access to a nearby piano or keyboard sometimes one of those pieces, a violin solo, a five minute standup comedy routine, etc. Lots of variety.

For all,

While I'm trying to figure out what to do solo for the future, I've arranged for my student (Yea! I now have a dedicated student! The first of what I hope grows into, well, a few [wink]

) and I to go one night and perform a duet that she has been working on for a while. It's a beautiful piece (I believe by Beethoven . . . I'll repost after Thursday when I look at it again with her) and she's doing very well with it and said she'd be more than happy to do it for an open mic night.

Retired, playing more sax than clarinet, but still playing clarinet and still loving it!
