This weeks line-up: - Welcome To Open Mike Night!


* SPECIAL NOTICE! *
Our New format has Changed to 20 minute set times to accomodate more players. We will now hold Open Mic Nights Once a month on the "LAST Wednesday" of the month.
The New Open Mic Dates are:

Wed. April 30
Wed. May 28
Wed. June 25
Wed. July 30
Wed. August 27


It's Easy to sign yourself up.
Just find the open time slot you want below,
Click the "Easy Edit" button near the top left
Put the cursor at that time slot and type in your name.
Then click "Save" in the EasyEdit tool bar.
Click "Skip edit note" prompt
Then click "No thanks" to close out
And you're IN!
Please Note:
Show up between 7:30 and 8:00pm to give yourself time to settle in and tune up.
If you don't show up early you run the risk of forfeiting your entire set for the night. Courtesy to the musicians already there is paramount over players who arrive late. Too many infractions we'll make walk the plank. Yikes!

Wow!
What a Great turnout! 5 additional newbies showed up. All with real good talent. Steady opener Eric Hart launched the ship with a surprise addition of Chip Karly shareing the stage. Next, great guitar player Richard Lent from Petersham wowed us with his instrumentals. Then, old musical aquaintence John Morello and Doug Urkot (spelled wrong) sang some terriffic oldied that they're working on for an up coming performance at Mechanics Hall. Tom Ewart followed with his guitar and showed us how it's done. Jim Lloyd who showed up on a whim and we made room for him to play some Moody Blues and a bunch of originals. Then Dave Blodgett plugged in his guitar and was joined by his guest Nancy Smith. She's got a Great voice! Daves no slouch either. Rich Lufstedt popped in and brought his mighty Uke to the stage for a set. We closed the night with Dave Karly and hid puppet Thadius. They did some Mike Duffy material from the upcoming Annual tribute concert at the Green Rooster. But wait! There's More! Just when we thought it was over, Worcesters favorite Rock-A- Billy son Jason James sauntered in. We were Thrilled to have him back home and invited him to play. Jason knocked out some classics on the piano.
All in all another Great Night!

We saw a couple of firsts tonite.
First time I ever saw Berkeley play "Plugged In" sacriliage! He was demonstrating the sonic differences of Sean Fullertons awesome Gibson guitar plugged in and miked up with a Shure SM57. The tone was infinately better unplugged and miked to our ears. Sean went on to play some instrumentals that way. Nice! We even "allowed" him to play the blues! Miguel Melendez played a new original that was fantastic! Tom Ewart did my favorite version of Over the Rainbow. Rich AD Leufstedt did Christmas toons. The thing I like about the Ship is you can stop, and experiment. No pressure to "perform" It's a free-form format. Come on down and try it yourself.

That was interesting.
Tonight (11/28/2007) was an eclectic mix of players and audience. Eric Hart launched the ship with cover tunes and some of his great originals. Jim Lloyd made his second appearance on the ship and was well settled in. He's developing nicely. Stalwart Tom Ewart does a beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace using harmonic tones. Then, we were oncec again graced with Ringer, Sean Fullerton who is honing a new solo carreer. Rich A/D Lufstedt hit the deck with stuff he'll be preforming this Sat. at the Hotel Vernon Holiday Uke Bash. Jim Berkeley Played Banjo Uke and guitar with a great mix of tuneage. He'll be doing a solo concert at the Ship room on Sat Dec. 15. BE There! Next up, Chewey with his own interpretation of musicality. Ari closed out the night But wait....theres more!..........
Sean Fullerton needed to noodle out a brand new tune on his Uke. There was a crowd of young girls and they swooned over him so he hung in there and played till way past midnight. Thanks for that Sean! Also In the audience was Lou Falcone and Jeff Chapman of the Mason Tyler Trio (my favorite oldies band). Next, the Holiday season begins. Come on down and see what happens next....

Tonite we competed with the Red Sox first World Series game at Fenway. It was a blow out...For both events. Sox crushed the Rocks and players at the Ship Rocked the boat. Eric Hart played some new originals and brought a drummer for emPHA sis. Then Gary Simpson took the wheel with a nice Martin guitar borrowed from his son. Then, occasional player and GREAT song writer Paul Richardson wowed us with his latest originals. Just Great! Rich Leufsteadt filled out the set with some not ready for prime time music on his Uke. Stalwart Tom Ewart joined Rich for some duets and smooth, solo guitar work. Great team of Mike and Amanda were next. She's got a ripping vocal style and Mikes guitar accompanyment complimented her nicely. We ain't seen Funky Mark in a while and it was great to have him back. Tom Ewart hopped back up on stage and did a few sweet tunes with the Funkman.
By now the Sox were beating Colorados ass 13 to 1 and when mighty Jim Berkeley took the helm we were ready for a great closing. I even got a chance to acompany Jim on Black Mountain Rag. Wikkid fun! Jim played about an hour and a half. You can read about it here, butt, it's better to Be there to see and hear for yourself.
Next Open Mic
