Average Jane Checks In

Written by

Today is Day 4 of the six-day seminar I’m running all over town to help conduct. This is supposed to be the last day of 100+ degree heat, but that’s not much consolation. Yesterday the extreme heat was almost too much for my little hybrid, so I’m taking the Jeep today.

Tonight there’s a social event for the seminar attendees that will include karaoke. Normally I’m anti-karaoke because it takes income away from bands and musicians. However, I’m relaxing my stance just for today because I’m looking forward to seeing all of my dad’s goofball friends trying to sing.

My dad has been going around telling everyone that I’m going to sing tonight, which is true. I’m trying to formulate a karaoke strategy for myself, but it isn’t easy since I don’t know what songs will be available. I’m hoping for a nice, solid AC/DC tune, or maybe some Led Zeppelin.

My husband is sick this week with a sore throat and cough and I’m trying to resist his germs by sheer force of will. The last thing I need to finish out the week and head into BlogHer is a week-long illness. Wish me luck.

OOOO! Good luck! I was out sick last week with one of the nastiest flu type sicknesses since the Mono illness of ’99! Good luck at Blogher also! Sounds like a blast!

Good Luck! I think I have some kind of inner-ear problem.
I love to take people like you to karaoke. It is like bringing a ringer to a softball game.
Do they make karaoke collections that don’t have a little ‘Who Made Who’?

Well, having just endured an evening of karaoke and combed the book for something I might possibly be able to sing, I can tell you that there will probably be some Zeppelin tunes available. Don’t know about AC/DC.
Weirdly, there was no Van Halen. They must refuse to release the licensing for their songs–can’t blame them.
Anyway, I’m sure that whatever you pick will go over well, since you actually know how to sing–that will be a novelty for the crowd.
