In the song “Rocky Mountain High”, John Denver sings about “coming home to a place I’ve never been before”. In a way, that’s what the Texas Star was like. The very first joint where I sang Karaoke was a little dive called One Nostalgia Place, where the drinks were cheap and strong, everyone knew each [...]

Quick update: Texas Star turns out to be just as late as everyplace else, nominally starting at 9pm, and definitely not for kids. But it’s still awesome. Karaoke is definitely a late-night activity, at least the way it’s done around here. It’s seen by bar owners as a way to induce patrons to imbibe larger [...]
I got a quick note from Carmen Gulledge, the fiery Karaoke DJ at The Goat, which I’ve raved about several times. She has a once-a-month Karaoke gig at White Rock Grill, 718 N. Buckner Boulevard in Dallas. It’s the second Friday of the month, so the next time around is this week. And it’s early: [...]

I originally posted this review to my KHYI-Fans email discussion list, an unofficial forum for fans of indie alt.country station KHYI 95.3 The Range. My fiancée Bibi (yay!) and I went to the Susan Gibson concert at Poor David’s Pub last Friday (February 11, 2011) — it was the first time I’ve been to the [...]
Way behind on updates, so I’ll try to run through them quickly! Better with a special friend Almost exactly a year after I discovered how much I like Karaoke, I made a new discovery: it’s even better with a friend! Especially if it’s your best friend, and you’re in love. Bibi’s first time to see [...]
The anticipation was killing me — after singing a few songs to an empty house at Señor Jalapeño’s, late on a Saturday night, I was *so* ready for the next Friday’s Karaoke night. Just a few blocks from home, in a quiet neighborhood in Mesquite, the homestyle Mexican restaurant isn’t a typical Karaoke venue at [...]
