Saturday night rig

I've been having some fun going to the Saturday night acoustic open mic that my buddy hosts at the local bar. After the dinner crowd thins out, we set up in a big circle in front of the fireplace and swap songs. There is usually a guy playing upright bass, a young woman playing a cajon, and several folks with acoustic guitars. I have been getting a kick out of showing up with a different guitar each week. One week a metal body resonater guitar, one week my 1932 Recording King archtop, etc... Last week I went full on vintage and brought my 1963 Alamo reverb unit, my late 50's Supro amp, and my 1952 Gibson ES-125. It was tons of fun, and I could turn it down enough that it blended well and still sounded good.
This is a sweet rig for very quiet venues. Next week I may use the same amp/reverb with my old Strat.
