Green with Envy

On Sunday we went to The Green Room in NW. Hosted by Kirk Mattoon, aka, "The Captain," singing there was a great time. But the talent! Pretty damn good -- almost too good if you are the least bit shy and/or haven't consumed enough liquid courage (which does not come all that cheap here). An amazing rendition of My Way and a woman covering Stevie Wonder with finesse made it hard for me to get up there and show my stuff. But I managed. So, in a sense, this place is the anti-Raymond: though everyone was polite, they weren't as "real" (maybe that is my way of saying many were too dang perfect) as the crowd that used to haunt the now defunct Grandmas. Still looking for that Holy Grail of karaoke.
