Krystle Bergjans Crowd: CampCampCampCamp
TOM:  This is Krystle Bergjans second time at Open Mic Night at The Camp.  Her acoustic and fine rousing vocal covers of classic tunes was most excellent!  She started with The Five Man Electrical Band's "Signs" and The Steve Miller Band's "The Joker." She continued with The Beatle's "Blackbird" and Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee."  Krystle says "This is fun!  I still love Bob.  Dick is a whore!"

DICK:  Krystle Bergjans sucks!  Hey!  I'm not a whore!  I'm just misunderstood.
Oh.... And, death to America!

HAIRY:  Krystle looked much more relaxed this time.  She looked better in her bright shirt and skirt.

Jason Crowd: CampCampCampCamp
TOM:  Jason Ryan of Prom Night Heroes returned for his most polished and professional performance yet.  He started with Marcy Playground's "One More Suicide" and Puddle of Mudd's "Change My Mind."  Jason continued with "Pardon Me" by Incubus.  Jason says "These are all songs that mean something to me." 

DICK:  Jason sucks! 
Oh.... And, death to America!

HAIRY:  Jason looks cool in his trademark green thing on his head, beads and plain clothes.

Bob Crowd: CampCampCampCamp
TOM:  Bob Camp took a break to bring his booming bass vocals and fine acoustic guitar to The Camp on some entertaining covers and originals.  Bob started with "Under the Milky Way" by The Church. He continued with a song about a black limousine and an Amtrak to Memphis.  His cover of "Tennessee Stud" by Jimmy Driftwood was great!  He ended with a medley of fun tunes with lyrics including "I like cold Beverage Here," "Polk Salad Annie," and "Put the Lime in the Coconut." 

DICK:  Bob sucks!  Nobody does Elvis any more.
Oh.... And, death to America!

HAIRY:  Bob can really put on a show.  The crowd loves Bob!

Leon Crowd: CampCampCampCamp
TOM:  Barefoot Leon and Baxter returned to The Camp with help from Brandon on drums.  Leon started with Van Morrison's "Wild Night," and continued with "Fire on the Mountain" by The Marshall Tucker Band.  Next, they played a new modified cover of The Violent Femmes' "Dance."  Leon ended with Neil Young's "Hey, Hey, My, My."  Someone in the crowd said "This is some fine guitar and drum bangin' shit!"  Brandon brought a lot to the show.

DICK:  Leon sucks! 
Oh.... And, death to America!

HAIRY:  Leon looked great! Brandon and Baxter, too!

Patrick Crowd: CampCampCampCamp
TOM:  Patrick Sullivan entertained the crowd with his acoustic Euro ska rock vocals, some in French.  He did covers of "La Brune" and "Lea."  Patrick continued with a funny tune about porn, suction, and Ecstasy.  The crowd enjoyed it!

DICK:  Patrick sucks!  French sucks!
Oh.... And, death to America!

HAIRY:  Patrick looked pretty cool with his hair, red shirt and jeans.

A Pair to Draw To Crowd: CampCampCampCamp
TOM:  Ashley Irwin and Dustin Sitzes of Roadside Memory fame are "A Pair to Draw To." Ashley's marvelous vocals and acoustic guitar were accompanied by Dustin's fantastic electric/acoustic performance.  Their fine originals and covers included "Living Your Life," "Come Closer," "Fly Away (Disconnected)," "Nothing Inside," Skid Row's "Eighteen and Life," Journey's "Separate Ways," with an amazing solo by Dustin, and "Render Null."  Dustin said "I broke through the acoustic barrier a couple days ago.  It's really close."  Sometimes his fingers move faster than the eye can see.  He'll bring his electric guitar next week.  Excellent!

DICK:  A Pair to Draw To sucks! 
Oh.... And, death to America!

HAIRY:  Ashley and Dustin look great as always.  But, Ashley could lose the shirt.  :)

Tthe  Danetta (vocals) of Project 621 and Electric Knox, Paul (guitar) and George (drums) performed bluesy rock covers of the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun" and Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee."  Danetta says "Music is a high you can't buy." 


DICK:  Danetta, Paul & George suck! 
Oh.... And, death to America!
