It had been a few years...

...but I went out last night for a bit.
Wasn't a family gathering...wasn't to run sound for any bands...just to go out and do a bit of Karaoke.
I used to go out every week...for years...and do karaoke at one of the bars here, but it shut down 4-5 years ago and I didn't really feel comfortable at the other bar here that did it occasionally.
But last night a place I've run sound at often had karaoke...and I decided what the heck.
2 hours
3 beers
7 songs
Touch, Peel & Stand - Days of the New
The Devil Went Down to Georgia - Charlie Daniels
Blue on Black - Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - AC/DC
For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield
Heartbreaker - Led Zeppelin
Tube Snake Boogie - ZZ Top
It was okay...not like the old days where I knew a bunch of people there, but that's okay too because I wasn't sure how well my voice would hold up.
I blew a few lines in a couple songs...I've never used the screen with the words, I always do them from memory, and it had been so long that a couple times the words just...weren't...there for a minute.
But it was fun...some...and Scar didn't throw too much of a fit about me being gone, so I may do it again next month.
If I can stay awake past 7 PM.

It is good to get out for some pointless fun. Glad it was good for you.

I've known a few Devils in Georgia, but never heard some of these songs. I use to go out once in a while, but always got tired and had to get some sleep! It's very hard work being 66 years old

I should try this before I die. A lot of people do karaoke.
