Welcome to the Area Code 860 Open Mike site for the

Cosmic Bean Cafe - May 3, 1999

The outside

Different, huh?

The inside

what a neat eclectic venue

Some of us like to practice before performing

For instance this guy

first it's this guitar

then it's this guitar

can't get enough guitars

And now here's our host extraordinaire

Robert Alan

- he does such a fine job

Robert announces our first performer

Bill Creighton

Bill really keeps it moving

Can you believe it - after all these months, and finally we get to see

Tom Woodward

Tom gives us his best, always

Soooo relaxed

familiar songs

classic harmonica

Tom does it all

and after he's through

Tom turns into "The Mummy"

hehehehehehehe

and now, from the world of painted 12-string guitars comes

Paul Gobell

Paul's voice

starts off quietly

builds strength

until it makes you have goosebumps

he's really quite amazing, folks

Great Job, Paul!

Ummm

Robert's flashing again

actually, he's promoting Simsbury's RiverFlash; Ohhhh: RiverSplash

NEXT UP!

Danielle

Danielle tunes to get it right

Perfect!

Danielle sings it right

and the guitar is great

Let's hear it for Danielle!

Heeup! Heeup! Heeup! Heeup! Heeup! Heeup!

and now, a personal favorite

Rich Patches

Incredibly clean

true to the songwriter

many facets of playing

Rich is a delight to hear

What a pleasure!

Many people love to hear Rich play and sing

including me

AND NOW THE LAST PERFORMER (before I leave)

BUCKY HOWARD

Bucky plays great

sings great

looks great

IS great!

The man with a voice of velvet

The Buck Stops Hear

Songs by the Buck
