Honest John The Beat Goes On: Grand Rapids Area Open Mic
This disc is exactly what the name suggests: the chronicles of a dedicated music fan cruising the local open mics, making friends and enjoying himself playing famous songs from back in the day. The songs were captured mostly from the audio of a video camera, and compiled onto a 48-minute disc. The performances themselves are definitely more about nostalgia than being finely-honed representations of the source material, but the disc does make you want to look up the original versions and maybe take a closer listen. Find Honest John at an open mic and check it out.
