Pats Open Mic

Pats bar is on RR1431 between Buchanan Dam and Kingsland (Texas). Open Mic night is every Sunday beween 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM and is hosted alternately by my band, Turnabout (AKA Lake Trash), and the Charlie Sardo band.

Paul Williams and I were in High School together in Seaside, California back in nineteenmumble. Sometime last year (2010) he tracked me down on the internet and we've been trading occasional emails since then. Paul sent me copies of a few great recordings he's made over the years and my desire to reciprocate finally gave me enough incentive to set up an Open Source computer based recording system to use at live performances.

The following are mp3 files extracted from those recordings. As I add files they'll be sorted by date. Each file is accompanied a brief description of who the performers were in the piece.
