Hi Bill,

I played Steamroller Blues. It's an easy 12 bar in G with  
uncomplicated lyrics.  It went over well
with the highly intoxicated audience.  I sang for about 30 seconds,  
then ignored the lyrics and  played
harp till the end of the song. When I pulled out the harp and started  
playing the place went dead quiet
for a few seconds, probably because they weren't expecting it.

I've come to the conclusion that karaoke is a great way to hone your
singing chops because the standards are so low.  The guy who went before
me was so bad, I knew that no matter what I did, I'd come out OK.
