It's official, I am in training for local karaoke...

...THIS song.



Now, I know what you're thinking. It's a melodramatic Country song that kinda feels like a Barry Manilow song, or maybe even something from that no-talent ass clown Michael Bolton.

There's a story behind why this song has a special meaning for me that I'll save for a later date.

Suffice it to say I am in training. I put it on a CD and drove around town all day singing along.

It's a bucket list thing. What can I say?



I would actually like to perform this song one day with a BAND, but the journey of 1000 miles etc etc etc...

starting over. Just tell yourself that you are researching the psychology of crowds.
Trust me.

I love doing it... usually assorted country songs, though once in a while i'll do something r&b or rock...

What's really fun, though, is a few times a year when we host "Live Band Karaoke"!!!

Yep... just what it sounds like...
The band has a repertoire of about 500 songs... find one you like, sign up, and go be a rock-star!!!

I haven't got the bottle or the voice to do that and I have the greatest respect for those that do.
