Old guy is rocking.

At the open mic last night, JETS60 kicked it off.  Then a woman he knew well played.  They both did great.  Each have reached a certain age.  Then a whole series of extremely talented college age or just past musicians played.  What they played was somewhat mellow and of the alt rock style.  People listened and and least JETS60, Normtheguitar, and I were duly impressed.  Then it was Normtheguitar's turn at the mic.  He seemed a bit daunted having to follow the extreme talent and musicianship we had just enjoyed.  After a mild introduction he started in on his first of four songs.  He was WAILING.  Just awesome.  Normtheguitar was the first musician of the night who had folks singing along, dancing, doing air guitar and generally rocking out. 

There was a young, tattooed, spike haired woman sitting between me and the stage.  I noticed her taking a picture of Paul on her iPhone, which I thought odd being that we had just met 1/2 hour earlier when she and her friends sat down to share our table.  Then I noticed that she sent the picture as a Tweet to her friends and the message was, "Old guy is rocking!"

Now, being a contemporary of mine, I mildly object to her characterization "old"; however, I wholeheartedly agree with her assessment.  Normtheguitar was ROCKING.
