Well, I did this last night.

I was feeling lonely,my strokes, etc, and asked myself, what did you used to do? And I drove to a Karaoke bar, I haven't sang, since LilBit,.
And I was shaking, stone cold sober. the I heard the crowd making comments as it was a bar. Not pretty ones . And,
I heard the first note of the song and my brain shut off. And I hit the music again, I was back in my heart, felt healed. And I don't remember the 2nd half of the song. I just remember touching my ear to the KJ cuz I couldn't hear my voice.
Long story short, I been through death and anger, and said some hateful things,
I had to get back into, my heart.
And the bar owner asked me to commit to coming back again
From my heart,
. Koz

Don’t pay any attention to what others might say. It’s your life and LilBit wants you to be happy!

The 60s , pop music doesn't touch me. Horribly written songs for tv ,aka Monkees, brady bunch. Etc , etc and Mama Cass. I'll do Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond , even Harry Chapin, but you posted a vid, of Mama Cass? .
You , posting this,, you kinda didn't hear my point.

You’ve made me think about it.

I was the frontman for a local California rock band, but it’s been many years.

Sounds like fun!
