I Write the Songs

...or at least sing the songs!  Yes, that was Grammie on Saturday night when we took her out on the town to a karaoke bar.  Now, if you don't know my mom well, you might not know that she has a song for everything.  Start a conversation about some topic and she'll bust out into a song that has to do with it.  So I thought that karaoke would be perfect for her - and it was!



I've written about other karaoke experiences we've had before, but in case you weren't paying attention, Japanese karaoke isn't like American karaoke.  In Japan, every group gets their own room complete with two mikes, their own TV and sound system, computers to input songs, and of course a giant song book.


The hardest part of karaoke is figuring out how to use the computer.

BIG book of songs

It took Grammie just a little bit to get the hang of it and then she was off and running.  She sang Elvis and the Beatles and Barry Manilow and a little Taylor Swift, Jewel and Bon Jovi to boot!  I think she had a great time!

Mike and Kelly singing "You're the One"

Not sure what the conversation was here, but it's a funny picture!

Stevie explaining the "Dam" book.

I think she's having fun.


Really getting into it now -dancing and singing!
