          Open Mic at McNamara's Pub, near Edgewater Park, on Lake Rd, one block South of The Lighthouse Inn
           Every Monday night 7:00---? 

Open Mics: who goes to them?  Well, Jen Chapin, singer/songwriter on a par with her late famous Dad Harry, for one.  Vivian Campbell, guitarist and vocalist for Def Leppard for another.  How do I know this?  They told me.
             When I spoke to Jen about McNamara's Open Mic she asked if it was a good one.  I told her that there were players who come to McNamara's that were plenty good enough to sit in with her right now.  She smiled a knowing smile and said she had been to such open mics in Boston and she loved them.
             And Friday I went to see Def Leppard play.  Prior to the show I had a chance to talk with a man that later introduced himself as Vivian Campbell, guitar/vocals, and a band member for Def Leppard He is originally from Belfast, Ireland, and now resides in Los Angeles.  As we spoke about music, McNamara's crept into the conversation.  And when he found out I hosted the Open Mic there every Monday Night,  he matter of factly said:  "I play at them when I am home and not on tour. They're fun".
             He's right. They are fun. And the bottom line is this:  a musician is a musician regardless of where are in the pecking order of celebrity.  Speaking of which . . .   these past few weeks have seen some very talented musicians: G. S.  Harper;  Scott Smith, Diana Tyler,John Ones,  St. Andrew, Brian Matheny, Jeff Lakatos, The Emerald Frequency, Steve Wilson, Alan Madje, Chelsea Ryann (spl?), Terry Writz, Unsub,and the list goes on.  I'm sure I've forgotten someone and if I've forgotten you please forgive me.
