"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
Haven’t done it since I quit drinking 20 years ago.

Back in my twenties, a bunch of my buddies and I were active in our local karaoke scene. Well, we were more active in the drinking scene, but karaoke was a great excuse.
We would play “karaoke roulette” so often that our local MC built a wheel so that we could spin for songs. After getting Andres Bocelli “Conte Partiro”, well, I’m not afraid to try new songs for schnitz and giggles.

Long Black Veil. I do Johnny Cash talk sing better than Lefty's real singing
"Duets" is a pretty entertaining road movie about Karaoke hustlers. Huey Lewis stars and it's a fun flick. He brings the house down with Lonely teardrops.

I always start with Elvis' "Wonder of You". For me, it's a great warm up. Then do some Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Neil Diamond, and used to finish with Sinatra's "My Way" - done with a little Evlis flair.

Not that I'd ever be caught dead singing into a microphone, but my dog would say it's either Desperado, Twilight Zone, or a really terrible rendition of Missing You.

Sixteen Tons. In a shameless imitation of Tennessee Ernie Ford. That's the only one I've ever done live with friends in a bar. But I think I could also pull off King of the Road, and Mack the Knife. I used to sing and play guitar in bars, so karaoke is a piece of cake; all ya gotta do is sing!
