Anna and I got a hold of the song list - there must have been thousands to choose from. And of course, you want to pick a song that you a)know the words and b)can somewhat carry the tune of. So we hemmed and hawed over some great and not so great choices. I liked the 70's type songs as these are like second nature to me. Anna, (and maybe because she is 3 years younger)however, wasn't overly familiar with my selections - who doesn't know Knock 3 Times by Tony Orlando and Dawn? Come on! Well, she didn't, so back to the list. Anna wanted to perform Paradise City by G n'R - I wasn't into that - I know the words alright, but that is a tough act to follow - plus who can sing in that high voice like Axle?? LOL!
So we settled on Raise Your Glass by Pink. And had a great time up there singing. Our friend Christine joined in too - but she kept singing into her beer glass and trying to drink from the mic! LOL! Hilarious!
You know - I love to sing. I loved it as a kid - I remember singing at the cottage all the time. I come from a very musically talented family if I do say so. And yes, I do say so. We even sang harmonies - how great is that?
Get out there and sing today!
Keep smiling!

Oh man "knock 3 times" was one of my all time favs as a kid! I'm not surprised your friend didn't know who Tony O and Dawn were...lol That was a long time ago but somehow feels like yesterday to me ;)Same with all the sing alongs we had at the cottage. I close my eyes and I can hear the harmony and sweet guitars playing...man those were the days!
Loved the kareoke night! Such fun and looking forward to the next one! I too like songs from the 70's lol oh and nothing too high!!! I don't have much of a range lol or a voice for that matter! But that's the fun in kareoke you can get up sing a song, have fun and pretend to be the rockstar you probably aren't lol and in the end... Everyone cheers like you are just that!!!
