December 20th 2025 Compilation June 2nd and June 20th

Image
 So trying just slightly different in that I'm calling this an "issue" of it's own to keep things a bit more current at a glance, but I do plan to go pretty far back in the wayback machine and mention a few highlights from past Kronicles. June 2nd 2025 This Issue: Dean First up we go to The Latchstring on June 2nd (I believe the incomparable Barbie Brown anointed him with the moniker  Dean of Karaoke  ) And here we have one that both Dean and I like doing. With or Without You made famous by U2 . The only notes I have from this night other than Dean doing this song is, "Two great Songs" "Cubs Jersey" No indication of songs, gender of singer or nuttin'. Ha! oh well... Ah but it does look like I procured a selfie of us that night...   next up Heading to Curly's on June 20th 2025  This Issue: Ghoul, Macaroni, Josh(Milkman), Leaky This was the night I meet Macaroni he was unfamiliar with Ghoul per say but got this selfie with all of us. And o...

Karaoke Vists the Wayback Machine

 April 8th and 9th of 2025   This issue we visit The Office and Bootleggers Guests include Switch, Nacho, Chuck, Jeff, Mary, Eric and DJ (David) So this goes back before Nacho horrific accident. Back to when you can see him really enjoying himself to Switch's song. As of mid October and me putting this together I hear he's doing better everyday. So first we have Switch doing   "River" made famous by Bishop Briggs Well as I was working on it I now remember I either ran out of space or something but I'm going to include it because I got a selfie to go along with it....  Now this also goes back to when I was trying to refer to these these as " Episodes " So I was playing around with naming conventions, ratios, and the like.  Also this night I got a selfie with a regular at several regular places, good ol' Chuck Rocks always sings an eclectic mix of rockers. I added the graphics and posted this a long time ago but again that was back when I was trying ...

KARAOKE KRONICLES Catches a Bucca Show at Wrigley

Image
This issue has >Bucca >Mad Dog >Laura >Shannon >Roger >Marcie April 20, 2025 Bucca has had to cut back on shows, was even out for while entirely after some surgery, not even sure her schedule these days. This was a Wednesday night at Wrigley's I still have Wrigley's on my Karaoke Schedules, so she may still there on Wednesday. But anyway this goes back a while so again trying to decipher my noted is a challenge. First thing is I noticed I made mention how this was meeting several people a second time after The Arena (don't think I published anything from that night Jay? wasn't very friendly as I recall... so...)  Several people from that night I've learned have very long karaoke histories in Fort Wayne, as does Bucca herself of course. BUT Mad Dog was there he's been a good source for the History of Karaoke in Fort Wayne Mad Dog gave us a little Twist and Shout that night.  Shannon, another host from the way back I understand, was there and w...

Extra Extra Read All About It! Karaoke Kronicles in da' house April 22, 2025

 This issue has guests: Babs, Amber, Kasi, Becca, Timmy and Tamia This issue is all from O'Sullivan's. Affectionately referred to as "O's" As I look over my notes from that night looks like I meet Ian Gasper that night and he started his Kronicles subscription ;-) I don't have any other notes for him so not sure if he was a karaoke singer or enjoyed the crowd.  Now there was a small group I got a selfie of including Amber, who I already posted her video in the Facebook Timeline. The one on the far right I think is Kasi who actually did a rousing version of the normally over done  Don't Stop Believing  made famous by Journey and Pat Benetar's Hit Me with Your Best Shot . Next to me I think was Becca, I can't read my writing but I think she did sing but not sure what the song was. So like I said I already posted Amber's song in the timeline and here's what I said then:  >>Pretty sure this was my first time hearing this song, and I real...

Friday Night  Curly's and The Office This night started off at Curly's. This usually is an indication I was visiting Mom on the south side of town. But anyway! It was an Evan night and Black Hat Ash was there also. I have video of her doing Cheap Thrills by Sia. I wasn't planning on getting that video which is why I hadn't situated myself for best viewing and people ended up blocking the shot but anyway, see this intro turned into guest number one.  Cheap Thrills Trying out different software for best way to just add simple graphics I was hoping to use Apple's free i-movie but titles and text are very limiting and such, later I may pay for something to get rid of the watermark and unlock more features. The above would be if I were to use i-Movie with an external application to widen the text features... but without paying it has a blatant "watermarks". The video featuring Black Hat Ash and Evan  doing a song made famous by  ROSÉ & Bruno Mars - APT . ...

  March 22nd 2025 My Video Guests Tonight Alana and Rob and And y Okay another from the wayback machine. This would be far enough back that it "should" have an Episode number BUT even back then I was phasing out that particular naming convention and so since that was my only stop that night  (I think) I was referring to it as the What's Up Episode .  This night was a mixture of getting videos. So for instance if you know the difference between a phone ration and the TV/Movie ratio I think I have both from this night. As it's one that I broadcasted " live " and was after to save it from deletion. The other I don't think I've shared. I think this is the night i met Andy and (Lynda) {actually I don't think I met her that night} ANYWAY! I talked to Andy about his spot on Bush song.  Glycerin  and then later got video  of him doing  Nickelback but more  on that in a bit...  The main thing I see in my notes is my phone  was about to die,...

 Welcome to The March 21st edition. I'm not even going to attempt to try and put these in any chronological order, so they will just be added when I get around to it and maybe favor one. For instance I place to make an entry for pictures I have from my Birthday on Feb 28th. The reason I'm doing this particular date? Simply because it was the first one where I can test how putting a video into this "Issue" will work. Looks like  Curly's  is the only place stopped that night? It was a Friday night so no going 'round the corner to  The Office  right? So anyway I had landed here. This is right at the beginning of me sort of  phasing out  the "live videos" which were problematic anyway....  so I wasn't planning on taking any pictures or video but Emma caught my ear, and I started recoding this. I did end up talking to her enough that I learned that WAS her name, but as sort of an in-joke with friends about Taylor Swift that was she tells all the KJ...
