Hi Again!

Hi, I'm back to writing, because I finally remembered my password for this blog.

I'm sure some of you can attest to the annoyance of forgetting a password and having to prove a blog is really yours. I can't be the only one whose done that.

So, I'm back. Still doing karaoke and having a good time. I've been hosting private parties and wedding receptions, instead of working in the bar's full time. 

 

My favorite place to hang out and just sing is still El Toro's in North Tacoma.  They have good food, great servers, a wonderful bartender and a really nice bar manager.  You'd like them I bet.

 

Al is the Host, he's great at mixing the music with the vocals.  El Toro's knows the value of letting us sing full out, so Al can play the music the way it was meant to be played, with a professional sound system, Nice and loud!  :D

 

Al Russell is the Best Karaoke Host with the Most songs available in the Tacoma Area! 

 

I just had to say that.  That's where I sing when I'm not having a Meetup or hosting a party or  wedding reception.  It's a lot of fun, very relaxing and I enjoy the other entertainers in the crowd.  Some of them are very good singers.. really good!

 

I'll be posting a list of karaoke places in and around Tacoma, soon.   So, now that I'm back check back in a bit. 

 

In the meantime, Keep Singing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tacoma Karaoke Grows

I remember being told years ago, "Don't get used to this gig, karaoke is just a fad and it's on the way out".
LOL!
I must say I'm not sorry they were wrong. I have seen the past time grow larger each year and I chuckle to myself whenever another bar opens up with karaoke.
Bars and restaurants along Pacific Ave. have filled up with signs promoting karaoke shows, mostly on friday's and saturday's, there are a couple that run karaoke 3 to 4 days a week. You know who you are and I heartily commend you.
There are singers who just can't get enough of singing and we need these venues to keep us satisfied and sometimes sane.
New businesses have grown up out of the karaoke "fad", we now have the karaoke newspaper, several karaoke shops selling cdg's and karaoke machines, KJ's and DJ's that play karaoke CD's and lots of karaoke websites for Tacoma and the surrounding area.
Yes, my friends it's here to stay and still growing.
Look for me Friday nights at the Valley pub, and on Saturday's at The Flying Boots Bar and Grill, yes still in Tacoma.
Until next post, keep singing and stay happy.
