Another fantastic week of open mic performances to enjoy this week.  I really felt like the guitarists shined tonight there were some incredible pieces presented for us this week that really speaks to the talent of this community.     The original song work this week as well was particularly moving, with some fantastic vocal performances.  All those new to open mic, this is a real treat to hear such talented people in one place, so much different variety and a lot of heart here on steemit.   

Enter open mic Week 54
