I've traveled to Phoenix to attend my nephew Dan's wedding, and my time here has been delightfully monopolized by friends and family. Having grown up here, and only getting back every few years, the limited amount of time is jam-packed catching up with everyone. But somehow it feels like I have never left.
I'll keep updating on activities here, as well as the emotional connections I have with Phoenix and the people I know, but for now I will report on what truly is a "cache", in whatever city it can be found. And that is one of my all-time favorite activities - alone or in groups. Karaoke.
My ex-sister-in-law, Carolyn Dausend, has a beautiful home, equipped with a complete karaoke set up, better than you would see in most bars. Many, MANY song titles to choose from. And lots of audience (she must have had 20 people in her house tonight). She knows my enthusiasm for karaoke, so she plans complete events around it. Although this was a "casual" evening (Karaoke Night is officially scheduled for this Monday), we did get a few songs in tonight.
Dan and bride-to-be Allie are performing a selection from "Grease" here, and friend Jeremy is outstanding with a Lighthouse number. I sang a Whitney Houston number and several selections from Broadway (most people didn't "get" that and, quite frankly, hadn't heard of most of the pieces). Carolyn ended the evening with her signature song "These Boots Are Made for Walking".
For those of us who love to perform, and especially for those who love to do it while singing, this was truly a "cache" of the day!
