Karaoke

 I love karaoke I recently met a man who does it professionally and met with my friend Rick and I to show us his program.  It looks so much better than what we're using and I was overjoyed when I learned that he lived near me in Minnesota and could work with me over the summer months.

So the arrangement was made to come to the bar where he works on a Sunday to see how he operates this program. 

Now, anyone who knows me knows that I don't generally have much of a night life.  I tend to turn into a pumpkin shortly after the 5:00 news and crash early.  So to accomplish this meeting I needed to take a long nap in the afternoon and then go the the bar at 8:00...at night. 

I can't believe I'm really doing this!

I arrived early and had some incredible Rueben rolls while I waited for him to show up.

I met some interesting people there.  First was Vera and her daughter who were the loudest cheerers and made every singer feel like a rock star.

Then there was Steve Chuck-Norris, who apparently dresses all the time like this and had a name change in honor of Chuck Norris.

I met Gallagher, who is actually a good singer and published an album that I listened to on You-Tube on the way home.  It had a Seals & Croft vibe that I enjoyed.  He's talking to Neil in the photo below.

That's Neil, the kind man who is willing to train me on this program. He's so patient and might help me set up a karaoke night in my park when I feel ready so I can practice running it.

We stopped karaoke and all stood outside to watch the eclipse of the moon.

One of the singers naturally sang "the total eclipse of the moon" to honor the occasion.

Loved the sign in the bathroom.  

It was a pretty magical evening.  There might be something to this nightlife after all.
