I'm not internationally known, but I'm known to rock a microphone. Actually, I think big Flo IS known internationally...this looks like a spot-on rendition of "My Way" by the Chairman Of The Board. This is an interesting photo also, I don't know who took this, but look at the contrast of dark and light. Florian facing the darkness represents a fearless inward look at the darkness of the human soul, while still illuminating the mostly good inner nature of man with the light beaming. The duck standing on one foot in the picture in the background represents the precarious balance of nature and man's place in it. Notice the dark cloud in the painting, and that Florian and the duck are both facing the same direction...This picture within a picture is fascinating, both in the immediate aesthetic, and in the deep religious and moral symbolism. And I'm drunk.

Here's Jessie on the mic. She did an outstanding version of "Bobby McGhee", really channeling Janis...interesting note: this song was written by Kris Kristofferson, who, somewhat less interestingly, was a Rhodes Scholar.

Here I am wrecking "The Devil went down to Georgia", or maybe "Sweet Home Alabama".

Here is Rob and Matt "Pee Papa" Hermann--I think they are doing something from Michael Bolton.

Here is Rob, Steffen, and Brian--not singing.
Here are some cool pics of when we were doing karaoke at Airlie in late July. Jessie Seyfer just posted these to the Burns thing, so I thought I'd steal some of them for the blog. It's weird, these shots were from about a month ago, but it seems like it was a lot longer than that. One day, I'll look back at these pics and think about how much fun I was having back in the day, even though I probably won't have kept in touch with anyone else in the photos. That's no reflection on the others, but more a realistic view of my inability to stay in touch with people with whom I have karaokeed. Anyway, this is only my second karaoke participation, and I think it showed.

Is Jessie available? And moving to New York?
We have a kareoke machine here. I will make sure to purchase a country mix kareoke CD for your next visit. I'll make you sing for your Coke and ice.
