Watching DNJ's multitasking video video did get me thinking.

Any of you ever come out from behind your keyboards to entertain a crowd? Use your keyboard as a karaoke machine and move about with a mike to sing to your audience?

I've been toying with this idea. I don't know if I would use some sort of USB canned music or just record my own midi or .wav file. I'm not sure how it would work best.

On another note....

My wife and I do a few shows together during the month. In those shows my wife uses a wireless mic and brings along a number of rhythm instruments.

The seniors we entertain when doing this love doing "a whole lot of shakin" with their rhythm instruments. Also my wife will go into the crowd to sing to folks and once in a while she will have someone sing along with her, especially if the song works for that.

Although I still do more shows as a solo act than we do together, I'm really aware of how much more of an entertainment factor it is to get the crowd involved.

Thoughts?
