That's my baby brother

First of several trip reports from our vacation last week on the We Still Kiss cruise with Dr Jim Richards.

So one of the things there was to do on the cruise was Karoke. I've done this once before (as reported on this blog) and that was enough. Tina made that fairly clear. :-)

Anyway, we went up to check it out because Steve said, "Maybe I'll do it." He has a really good voice, and is quite the extravert, so we told him to go for it. But he was a bit nervous... never done it before, what if I don't know the song well enough, etc. So we are up there and several people are "performing". Most of them weren't very good but a few were ok. Pretty much the atmosphere is people drinking, having a good time, talking and whoever is signing has a few friends clapping for them, people laughing, etc.

So Steve finally decided to do it, submits his form (here is what song I want to sing, what CD track it is on, etc.) and they call him up. He is doing James Taylor's Fire and Rain. He gets half way into the second line and everyone stops talking and starts clapping. He did excellent. I was very proud! He sounded so great. (Hey... at least one of us can sing).

Given that great encouragement he ended up signing probably 5 songs about 7 times over the next few nights. It was great fun.
