rumours has it...

Went to Rumours for karaoke last night. My friend Vince worked on my lymph nodes to get the circulation flowing. It worked very well, and I didn't have any pain while singing last night. The new space at Rumours & Innuendo is nice. The sand-blasted brick and bar reminded me of the old Boom bar in Minneapolis. Jesse looked good behind the new bar (he always looks good), but the new bar has no credit card machine nor beer taps. So it was kind of a pain for the folks who bought the beer bust to have to get the tap beer at the front of the bar (Innuendo). I just got some cash instead of running to the front bar to add to my tab. I would rather have
Jesse taking care of me.

Vince and I sat in the new space before it "officially opened" and read the Always Moore Karaoke book in a relaxed manner and really took time to look at songs and artists I don't usually take time to read. I usually just go for the songs I know and quickly fill out some slips. It sure is nice to be such good friends with the hosts Jamie and Jeremy. We all met through music and it is a special connection.

Vince and I met a very nice guy, Mike G. He was kind of hesitant to sing because of some of the high level of talent that night, but we convinced him (I think) that it's all about having fun and no attitude. He sang three times, so I think he felt more comfortable by the end of the night.

Well, that's about it - a good time had by all. The new space sounded great! Great for the singers too, with a nice clear, loud monitor. I made it home in time to get 8 hours of sleep. This morning I tried the lymph technique Vince taught me and I think it worked pretty well!

until next time...
