Thanks so much to all our ROMulin Community and Special Announcements

                 Greetings to our entire Family of Artist's at Roslindale Open Mike!!!! 
                         This is todays version of my very "Infrequent Blog"

To date our ROM-2014 Season has been so incredible and Mike & I would like to thank each and every one of you from ALL our ever growing Open Mike Community, our incredible and growing audience and listening Community and of course our wonderful  Feature Performers thus far this year we wholeheartedly thank our Features

Our ROM-2014 Season does continue this year with 3 Additional ROM events and our very next ROM is this coming Monday 3-31-14!!! 
Our very special feature for this night will be Michael Troy www.folkmichaeltroy.com

Please note this is our 1st 5th Monday ROM event of our ROM-2014 Season. So if you were thinking this is NOT a 2nd or 4th Monday as we have done for the past 5 years, your are correct!!!

Our 2 other 5th Monday ROM events this year will be on:

6-30-14 with Stephen & The Snake Featuring

9-29-14 with Steve Rapson Featuring

New this year is also the additional to the continuation of our ROM Unplugged Ceilidh evenings song circles.  This year due to my Food Pantry picks up Sun-Wed eves we are moving the Ceilidh's from that 5th Monday slot to my the only free night for me which is Thursday Evenings starting at 7PM. Our Ceilidh events are song circles and all are welcome and all unplugged. The dates for this year's Ceilidh's are:

4-24-14      7-10-14   and   10-23-14

Another very special ROM event this year which will NOT be held at ROM will be held on Sunday Night May 18, 2014. It is the 2nd year in a row that our Dear friend Ellen Schmidt will be opening her doorway at her wonderful Emerson Umbrella Open Mike in Concord where   Ellen will continue to help ROM with our Fundraising efforts to enable Roslindale Congregational Church to become "Handicapped Accessible". This is an effort we have been working toward at ROM for years now and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and am in the hopes that the Church will be accessible  in the NOT too distant future. My thanks to ALL who have donated their time and energies to this cause and also to This Monday's upcoming ROM Feature on 3-31-14, Michael Troy did a great Feature at one of the 3 Fundraisers for the church in the past. Thanks again Michael!!!!

Speaking of our dear Friend Ellen Schmidt. 

Did you know that Ellen has a Brand New Open Mike??? It is called "Ellen Schmidt's Acton Jazz Cafe Open Mike. Our Congrats to Ellen on yet another wonderful venue which I have had the honor of attending one her very first show!! It is a splendid Venue with a great Community, state of the art new stage with a grand Piano and also likely the best of the best, it has Ellen Schmidt!!!  The food is really great so go to a great open mike and go hungry you will leave with a  wonderful meal and some heartfelt music and spoken word to dwell on your way home. I am going to add in a piece from Ellen here but also NOT here.

Lastly congrats to the Brand New Milton Art's Center Open Mike. It is held on Wednesday evening. I went to the very first Open Mike last night and the house was packed. I did just add their link to the website list. In case I goofed it is: www.miltonartscenter.org. For those of us old enough to remember, it is about 2 blocks away from the Old Java Jo's in East Milton. Beautiful building and arts for ALL ages at the Open Mic.
