Unless you just happen to be one of the lucky few that got invited to my place for karaoke tonight, the best place to sing karaoke tonight might just be Bar Louie in Bayshore Mall. Not only are they doing karaoke, but they are doing Live Band Karaoke!
Live Band Karaoke is brought to you by none other than the band Live Band Karaoke. They got the name because they do Live Band Karaoke. Clever guys.
Really, singing karaoke with a live band is a hoot. First, cuz it's live, right? But, not so obvious is that the band will keep time with you, rather than you trying to keep time with the band. I was just singing Impossible Dream this morning in my home office, and I was frustrated to tears that the karaoke version doesn't allow me to hold out those dramatic notes at the end. Perhaps the dogs appreciated that the song got over quickly, but I sure coulda used a live band behind me this morning. Maybe I'll give Mike Grassman a call to see if he could get the band to back me up in the shower tomorrow morning. I know they do private parties.
Here is their Songlist. I may have to ask them to learn Impossible Dream.
If you just happen to miss the party at Bar Louie, you can catch them playing around town. I see from their calendar that they are doing a show at O'Conner's on January 6th, and are at Replay Sports Bar on January 28th.
As always, your favorite Revelator,
John the Revelator
