Great Friday night at Jakes. 35+crowd and some great performers. Jakes has got to be the most attentive audience for an open mike around. Stone one of the hosts and others are increasing the popularity of this open mike and the easy location (near the bridge and on Kennedy Blvd) is a great help.

Bishop and his new guitarist (jazz, r&b) were the surprise of the night. Hope Bishop can keep this guy coming.

Frank Ryan and some friends sang a song they did for Friday Morning Musicale. It was two songs at the same time. I had to screw the top of my head back on afer that.

Brad gave us a full report on the alarming conditions occuring in Wisconsin where herds of llamas are entering the state and are feeding off Canadian Geese. Makes you want to cry!

Thanks to all the performers and the great support this mike is recieving. Hope to see you there next Friday.
