Open Mic Night at Hammonton Bagel Cafe 12/2/05
Our Holiday Edition!
This was another great night of live music with many of our HBC Open Mic regulars coming out. This was a very special night with performers joining in on each others sets and jamming the night away.  12 performances in all and many collaborations.  Everyone sounded just great!  We thank all our regular performers for coming out along with the new comers that showed up to participate.  It was another late evening but everyone got to play and we all got to listen to some absolutely terrific performances.  

We thank you all for taking part in our latest and maybe best "Open Mic Night" yet!!
BackYard got the evening started  with some great cover songs including their version of "Please Come Home For Christmas".
