It is hard for me to Imagine that what was a dream just 1 year ago, became Roslindale Open Mike!
First and foremost our thanks go out to Roslindale Congregational Church for giving us ROM!!
My thanks to life-long friend Sam Schneiderman who has sponsored this website and the email address. As SAM of, The Greater Boston Home Team, Is our one and only sponsor!!
Thanks Sam!!!
Thanks to F.J. Higgins Funeral Home for allowing us use of their large parking lot!
Mike and I have been blessed by having the 1 key item so very important for any organization to flourish! That is OUR FOUNDATION! Said Foundation is comprised NOT of Money but of each and every one of YOU! We would love to see the use of this Guest Book as a Forum of constructive thought!
To those of you who have come early, to help us set up and have stayed late to help break down! Thanks so much! for all the varied goodies you have brought to ROM in addition to yourselves! You all know who you are! Thanks to our dishwashing folks at the end of our nights which is a huge help to me in trying to get out of there before 2AM!
Roslindale Open Mike would NOT be what it is, has been and will be in the future if it was not for the insight, experience and knowledge of my Host and Musical Mentor, All in All, My deepest thanks go out to my friend, Mike Delaney. Mike has helped navigate ROM all year!!! In Mike, I/WE have been blessed with one of the most versatile and energetic Host's I could ever have hoped for!! The one Main thing that I have learned from Mike is that ROM will always need to remain, A work in progress!
I thank Mike Delaney for sculpting Roslindale Open Mike into the Venue it is today!!!WE began this joint Venture, from our Love of Music & Fun! Thanks to you Mike and to all that you do! You are the initiator of what ROM is today and will be tomorrow!!!
Always, Neal Braverman:))
On to an incredible, ROM 2010.
