Did Ollie’s open mic at the Ptit Bonheur la Chance, that I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. This time, a great night more crowded than I have ever seen it.

I did three songs, doing “Jealous Guy,” “Except Her Heart,” and to change things and shake it all up, I did the traditional English song, “High Germany.” A troupe of five or six American actors did some kind of theater piece that I couldn’t follow, and I played right after them. This is just a quickie post. Here’s the Japanese guy:
