You hit it Donny. I refuse to go any place that has Karaoke. I went to hear one open mic night and it was like a bad flashback of 60's folk music. Its amazing what people will accept.
Your old enough to remember the original Karaoke guy from your area, Al Rondo. Used to do his amazing thing at PJ Ruggles. He would play "live" behind anyone for any song. He packed the place with wannabes but his playing the rest of the night made it worthwhile, and he got paid very very well. I know we talked about him before and he's still playing at Brennans.
