The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

It's rare I have a day off in the middle of the week, but I was actually off work today, and able to do something I've always wanted to do. That's right, I went to karaoke night at a local bar with some friends! I supplied air with "Making Love Out of Nothing At All" and had the crowd whipped up and excited. I totally bombed on Gordon Lightfoot's classic "If You Could Read My Mind" (too slow for karaoke... ) and redeemed myself with Starship's "We Built This City". All in all, very fun!

No "Bandstand Boogie" by Barry Manilow? |

Believe it or not, that's not one of my favorite Manilow tunes. "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without You", and "Ready To Take A Chance Again" are my personal favorites from Manilow, but all would've suffered the same agonizing mauling that Gordon Lightfoot's classic received. The lesson for today is- if you can't sing, stick to the fast songs and just go crazy. I really wanted to do "Surrender" or "I Want You To Want Me" by Cheap Trick... |

Try "My Sharonna" by the Knack next time Swifty. You don't have to have the greatest voice to sing it. |

I you are going to do a Lightfoot song go with Sundown as it is a little more upbeat.

Another good one! But not fast enough. In the case of "If You Could Read My Mind" I knew all the words by heart, which is what I was after...
As for "Sundown", I know bits and pieces by heart... Sundown, you better take care if I find you've been creeping round my back stairs... |
