So since my niece has turned 21 she has been checking out some of the local nightlife in the area. (Yes Poughkeespie has a nightlife). 🙂 Furthermore she has been doing her best to drag me out with her now & then so that I have a better idea where she is every night until 3 and 4 am instead of sitting home worrying about her. 🙁

She is especially fond of “open mic nights” because I think she likes the tortured artist types. One Monday night recently I went to Mulligan’s Irish House with her to check out her friend Anthony’s band and I had a great time. Not only is her friend “TC” a really talented guitarist but he also has a really good voice. From what I hear he and his band mates have been doing something for MTV that they are really excited about. If you are curious at all please do check out “TC’s” band’s MySpace page here: Bangcock Ladys Boy.  There are a bunch of their original tunes loaded on the page but that night he was doing a lot of acoustic cover tunes that brought back tons of sweet nostalgic memories for me. But when I asked my niece if she knew any of those songs that made me smile she mostly gave me a blank stare. Wow .. nothing like hanging with a kid that wasn’t even born when you were partying to make you feel old. Huge generation gap there folks! 🙂

But I still had a really great night out singing along, shuffling my feet a bit and knocking back a few drinks like in the “old days”.  We stayed right through until closing and then watched the band pack up (which REALLY brought back memories from my misspent youth.  😀 Anyway, I could definitely do that again sometime but not every week like she would want.  I took a few shots with my phone .. they are ehh at best but looking at them brings back some fun memories.
