Last time I counted there were 48 people and had spilled onto the out door/patio area! And it was 53 degrees!
We had 15 artist including a harmonica player (he had a bag full of harmonicas) that played with 2 different people and one guy who sang with a man who is becoming a regular... good night for Karla!
The amount of talent showing up is amazing. It blows my mind. I love standing in the rain and getting wet!!
The man who videos our performances invited me to his house to video me because I'm not happy with what I hear... I sound really good at home, but what I hear at open mic sounds, to me, like crap. I asked Randy and John and both said I sounded great... to just keep doing what I'm doing and not concern myself with what I hear since it is a totally different ambience/environment. John played AMI J and it sounded like crap. No bottom and the high E squeaked... I didn't like it at all. He used a pick. I will keep using my thumb... oh, and on some songs I intentionally rattle the low E, for effect... John said he couldn't hear it, but I can and it doesn't sound as good (what I hear) as it does at home... SMH...
We had a semi-pro there who played a brand dadgum new, Gibson J45... of course I had to talk to him about it... seems he has a friend who works at the Bozeman factory and he got it for 80% off retail 
I told him he should have bought 2 of them... he said he tried but they wouldn't let him
