THOUGHTS

KARAOKE, you say!

What are your thoughts about Karaoke?? Do you sing and enjoy it? My community where I live has Friday night Karaoke and I love it. It goes from 6pm to 10. Some Fridays I make the whole 4 hours but being 79 and the chairs are not the best, it usually is less time. My hubby, now he is amazing as he is 91 and he hangs in there. He sings as well.

Karaoke is special because we all do not have to be an Elvis or Barbra or Alan Jackson. No, we just have to love music. We gather, bring snacks to share and our favorite brew!

Years ago, I was a very shy person and wanted to get over it so I signed up for a singing group. The teacher was a person who sung professionally, played piano and was very encouraging to us newbies. So, I sung a song in front of about 6 of us. Not a lot of people but believe me, it helped a bunch.

So now, I have been told, I have a good voice and I believe those who have said that are sincere. But, a key component is to sing within your range of voice. Some folks do not honor this. However, I am very forgiving and tolerate it. After all it is for fun and we are not professionals but you can only take so much cat screaming!

The other aspect is timing. Folks, you must watch the bouncing ball, bouncing finger or whatever is on the screen to help you keep in time.

So, if you have not tried it, I say give it a go. You will enjoy it even if you try it only once.
