Another terrific Open Mic with the wonderful Alex Tang (who will be playing The Visit at Signature) at the keys. It was great seeing a lot of new people !
Note to Matt Howe: You’ll be happy to know that even though you weren’t there, someone did a Streisand song, so her birthday was commemorated!
And a housekeeping note — someone left a lovely Sharper Image umbrella at the Warehouse Theater. I brought it home with me — please e-mail me (MichaelMiyazaki@aol.com) if it’s yours and I’ll bring it to the next Open Mic. And remember, I know who was there!

My name is Renee Moyer. I was very privileged to have the experience of performing with so many talented folks last night. Thanks for publishing the list of songs performed. I was bowled over! Looking forward to next month’s open mike. I won’t be so shy next time.

Yeah Streisand!! I’m sorry I missed Monday’s open mic. Looks like you all had a wide variety of songs.
