I just returned from a cruise, to find out that a close friend and business partner in Seattle has a severe medical problem. I ended up changing plans to stay here and see him when I can.

But it looks like I am staying in Redmond, WA tonight with nothing to do. I think NW Karaoke Guide is the place to look, and I see a couple of possiibilities for singing tonight. But I know we have a sizable Seattle contingent....

Does anyone have a Saturday night show within 20 minutes or so of Redmond? I am staying near 148th and Bel-Red Road.

Tomorrow night I am probably going down to Lonman's place, as I am staying near SeaTac that night.

PM me or post, but I would like to visit your show!

Tomorrow will work out fine for me as I am not working tonight, had other plans already.
Maybe Karen?

Great, glad you are going to be there!

I am not sure where Karen, Randy, and company hang out. I was thinking Bellingham, which is farther than I want to go since I could be called away at any time. Normally I am willing to travel, but with my friend's situation I want to remain super-flexible.

Pick up a copy of the guide---that has MANY GOOD references to try out in all areas of Seattle, Tac, Everett etc etc.

Myself Id just go see Lonnie at The T-Bird in Tacoma.

It is in my plans on my next NW karaoke tour!

OK, now I'm disappointed. I'm not doing any Sat. night shows now, but would certainly have steered you in the right direction. Randy would have been a good person to ask, too. (Hubby's band played last night down in Auburn, left the house at 3 p.m. and got home at 3 a.m. so I didn't see the post...)

It was such a short notice --I figured you would see "Seattle" in the subject and post if you saw it.

I had a constraint of staying within 20 minutes of Redmond, so Auburn was out of the picture anyway. I ended up at the Palmer East, then later at the Maple Leaf. Got to sing a lot -- very good sound (on some vintage equipment) at the Palmer. Good sound also at the other, though I sat a bit out of the audience area.

I am done visiting my partner, who goes in for removal of a brain tumor Tuesday. I am posting from my SeaTac airport hotel, and will go down to Lonnie's show early (to get somethign to eat). I fly out in the morning, so I probably won't close the place, but you never know....

Well Mickey just left my show, a pleasure as usual! I don't know how they turned out but I recorded his songs tonight even though I wasn't prepared to record. I'll send them to him first & let him determine whether or not to sub them.
Thanks for the visit & look forward to the next one!!!!

Get one of those tunes posted up on SS---I want to hear how they turn out doing them live on your system. Maybe next time I get up that way I coudl give it a try!

Look for "Randy J" in there. He did 4 of his subs from the live recording. But that night I was set up to rcord too.

Caught ya! You must have internet at the gig, cool!

A great time again at your show. The sound was excellent, and thanks for remembering my preference for a slightly wet monitor. The new Mackie VLZ mixer sounds awesome.

Rotation was light early, so I got to sing quite a lot even though I only stayed 2-1/2 hours. Did:

Too Gone Too Long -- RandyTravis
Come Monday -- Jimmy Buffet
Ramblin' Man -- Allman Bros.
Bad Bad Leroy Brown -- Jim Croce
Seashores of Old Mexico -- George Strait

Leroy Brown was the laser disc version, which I was not prepared for. So I cracked up and lost it in the last chorus...

Got to hear Lonman sing twice with the very short early rotation -- what a treat. He did "Hurts So Good" and "Who'll Stop The Rain".

Hope the recordings came out OK -- I was in pretty normal form so that's what I sound like, for better or worse....you have a great crowd, so one is apt to sound their best.

Yeah i'm online here. Again, really enjoyed your singing & talking when I had the chance. You ar welcme anytime!!! I will send you the link to your songs within a day or 2.
