Debuted a new song for me to sing, Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood.  I first heard it from the Animals, almost 50 years ago, but it turns out that there's a great version by Nina Simone, done a year earlier, that just brings the emotional message home (as she always did so well). 

I debuted it last night at an open mic, and, while neither the drummer nor the guitarist with me knew the song, they did a good job backing me up. I just felt it, and I think I gave a good performance.

It was exhilarating for me at any rate.
