Coming To The Stage...

Three weeks ago a friend had her birthday celebration at a nearby karaoke spot. Anyone who knows me knows how much I LOVE karaoke. Well...actually...I love singing...whether I am at karaoke or not.

Anyhoo...I went and had a GREAT time.

I loved the fact that it was so close to my home. Usually I travel 15+ miles away from home to sing karaoke, but that's because I typically go with a different group of friends so we tend to go in THEIR neighborhood.

About this new spot, I also love the crowd.

The BEST singers get applause, and so do the "not-so-best" singers. I happen to fall somewhere in the middle.

Oh...and it's FREE to sing. Sure, there's a bar and the drinks are usually flowin', but I don't drink, so...there goes that. Sometimes I'll get an overpriced Sprite, just to say that I've purchased SOMETHING. But last night I only had water.

Did you catch that? I said, "last night."

Yep folks, I have such a good time at this place that I have gone THREE FRIDAYS IN A ROW!

The first night I went I sang "Square Biz" by my FAVE, Teena Marie.
Last week I sang, "Video" and "The Truth" by India.Arie
Las night I sang, "The Way" by Jill Scott, and even had some dudes offer themselves to be my background singers. Funny...didn't know that I needed any background singers, but I'm a good sport and they made it fun.

Will I be back NEXT Friday? It's kinda tough to say this early in the week, but...well...you know the rest.

Bottom line is this...I simply LOVE to sing and I will sing ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

Let the DIALOGUE begin: If I DO go to karaoke again next Friday, what should I sing?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
