So wonderful to be back on-air for Season 2 during our new timeslot, 7-9pm every Thursday! Heard some words of… wisdom? from Pizza Mike and some killer original tunes from real, live locals including awesome first-time MMBRH playa’ Sean Markey, longtime favorite lurker/photographer/Buffa’s-open-mic-host extraordinaire Natasha Sanchez, and Checkpoint’s open mic host Jim Smith, who can now attend this show since it’s not on Sundays anymore! (Had a nice round-table discussion about open mics as well… tried to call Mike Darby to get his 2 cents, but apparently none of his cents had been going to his phone bill…)
