If We Had Day Jobs We'd Be Keeping Them

Marina di Ragusa
Dec. 2014

One of the cruising couples wintering here in Marina di Ragusa organized an open mic night at a local bar. Anybody that could perform a song had a chance to get up on "stage" and exhibit their talent, which ranged from tiny to tremendous.

Maggie started playing the ukulele a little while ago, so she formed a duo with another uke-playing lady to form the "Ukelele Girls" and they played "Jackson".  Maggie and I played a John Prine tune called "In Spite of Ourselves" (thanks Far Out).  I played a duet with a friend (I choked) and a couple by myself with better results.  

It was great fun and a wonderful opportunity to try something new.  I am looking forward to the next gig and, perhaps, a recording contract in the future.
