Truly, now for something quite out of the ordinary round here...

Last night kind of late for moi, I went to one of our family friends' son's birthday celebration. He had it at a kind of divey joint in North Seattle, famous for its karaoke. And so we did commit karaoke, repeatedly; it was quite a lot of fun. Some of us even remained sober in order to do so.
The song lists were spotty, but had enough options from very old to kind of recent to accommodate all but the pickiest of performers, of which there seemed to be few. What a strange phenomenon. It's quite a leveler. It helps to go up at least a couple of times to get over the Elvis leg jitters that set in on the first go. Great time for all, particularly the birthday boy, who reprised his favorite, Yes's "Owner of a Lonely Heart". His friends made sure it wasn't his theme song.

Wow.

So, what did you sing?

Really want to know? Well, Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child", Sam Cooke's "You Send Me", and Sly Stone's "Everyday People." Moving up through the decades...

Cool. I think I would have been too nervous to try to knock out "God Bless the Child."

I'm shelling out a lot of cash among my son's friends, bottom-fishing for video.
