This song is about the various open mic events that I have attended since August of 2022.  These nights are a great way to boost one's confidence, and to get used to performing in front of a live audience.  I know myself that i have definitely improved over the time I have played at these various venues, and it ties back into a song that i wrote in the Club called "Rock The Funk Out" to the theme "Senses".  The chorus contains the line "get up on that folking stage," and I have done just that while meeting people and making new friends along the way!  There is just so much undiscovered talent out there, and open mic nights are a haven for not only showcasing these individuals but group acts as well.  Some of these events have a heavy emphasis on collaboration, and this to me is when the magic really happens and the overall vibe goes through the roof!  I have also been to a number of open jam nights, where you can choose to perform solo or have other musicians join you on stage.  I have sampled both of these, and have absolutely enjoyed myself every single time!

The song's title comes from an organiser of several open mic events who goes by the name Dan Munn.  He used to run the event at Tiger Eye Bar in Brisbane's Petrie Terrace on Monday nights, but now that particular night has moved to a new venue called Miss Demeanour which is located in the heart of Brisbane City.  Dan hosts several of these open mics each week, with one even doubling as an open jam session which can very quickly become a free for all where pretty much anything goes!  You never know who's going to appear on the night, as Dan attempts to "build a band" with whoever rocks up to perform!  This band-building concept sounds very familiar to me, due to my years of experience using the online music collaboration site called Bandhub.  Since that site shut down, I have wanted to take these collaboration skills offline and into "the real world," and finally I have been able to achieve this!  I look forward to plenty more of these events to come in future!


VERSE 1
Dan gets there early
To set up all the gear
It takes a lot of time
But there's nothing to fear

At half past five the board comes out
Where people write their names
Everyone gets three songs each
And fifteen minutes of fame


CHORUS
Munn-Day, Fun Day
Time for the open mic
Show the crowd just what you've got
And start the week off right

One free drink for all of those
Who get up on the stage
People of all kinds are here
It doesn't matter your age


VERSE 2
Eleda is a leader
Who's here to Sarah-brate
She's on with Ella Hartwig
And they always sound so great

Dobbo is a legend
While Jen can do no wrong
Who's next up to play
The iconic David Truong


CHORUS
Munn-Day, Fun Day
Time for the open mic
Show the crowd just what you've got
And start the week off right

One free drink for all of those
Who get up on the stage
People of all kinds are here
It doesn't matter your age


VERSE 3
All of them are here to do
Their weekly misdemeanour
They show up every seven days
And simply couldn't be keener

When the night is done
Dan mingles with his guests
As a music event
It's truly one of the best


CHORUS
Munn-Day, Fun Day
Time for the open mic
Show the crowd just what you've got
And start the week off right

One free drink for all of those
Who get up on the stage
People of all kinds are here
It doesn't matter your age

Munn - Day

Imagine driving through the city at night.

Dance With Me

When I first thought of the theme "Longitude", the song that I wrote for the theme "Latitude" came to mind.  On that occasion, I wrote about my brother and what he does for a living.  For this week's submission, I started by making a list of things that take a long time to do.  I mentioned shifts at work that are longer than ten hours, movies that are longer than two hours, five-set tennis matches, Test cricket matches that go the whole five days, and road trips.  That last one took me back to when I was in the USA in 2005, and we basically drove to all the different places we visited.  I think it was about a ten-hour drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and from memory it probably took a few days to reach our destination.  It also had me thinking about music friends of mine who drive up to Central Queensland from Brisbane and back again to perform at gigs and to visit family members.  The movie "Road Trip" from the year 2000 also briefly came to mind, but my song is not about that at all..


CHORUS
We're going on a road trip
It's bound to take a while
In it for the long haul
Better do it in style

Packed the car up nicely
With things to keep us sane
Now we are ready to go
All on our merry way


VERSE 1
How far is it up the coast
Ten hours, you say?
I need to get used to this
And keep entertained

Seeing sights out the windows
On a hot sunny day
I took a photo of a truck
Going the other way


PRE-CHORUS
We stop at a hotel
Where we call it a night
Tomorrow we go again
Until the end is in sight


CHORUS
We're going on a road trip
It's bound to take a while
In it for the long haul
Better do it in style

Packed the car up nicely
With things to keep us sane
Now we are ready to go
All on our merry way


VERSE 2
We need to drive up north
To fly is not a choice
My drums are in the boot
You need to bring your voice

We'll be there for a week
To see our families
Then we'll return again
In time for our next gig


PRE-CHORUS
It can be exhausting
To go there and come back
We find it is worth it
That's our plan of attack


CHORUS
We're going on a road trip
It's bound to take a while
In it for the long haul
Better do it in style

Packed the car up nicely
With things to keep us sane
Now we are ready to go
All on our merry way
