Christmas Karaoke 2005 December 21
I haven’t been anywhere during a karaoke night in a long time. Most of the ones I’ve been to in the past made me want to scream and run away just at the sight of a karaoke machine. However, Tuesday night I was at the Clarksburg Inn and they had Christmas Karaoke. I was all prepared to head out the door, but the guy sitting next to me convinced me I should listen to some of the karaoke regulars as they were real good. Since he offered to purchase a pint if I stayed for a few songs, I humored him. Well, he was right. These guys had excellent voices and if you didn’t know that some guy in the bar was singing the songs, you could have sworn it was some famous singer. Since it was “Christmas Karaoke” many of the songs were Christmas songs – which was fun. Luckily, no one tried to sing anything by Meatloaf. I might have to reconsider karaoke nights and instead of running out the door at the first sight of the machine, I should just makes sure I am prepared to run out the door as soon as the first note of Paradise by the Dashboard Light gets played.
