I'm glad you had a good night. We had good night too. We host a open mic twice a month and we had 10 people sign up. There are some talented people around here, eslecially the women. At one time we had six of us on stage, and we had never played these songs together before. They were all written by one of the guys who runs the open mic on alternate Thursdays, and we nailed it. I am glad we both had a good musical night. It is so good for the soul, and l really love your house! 😁

Could be. Maybe.
