McGillin's Olde Ale House is a fun place to hang out. It's also a HUGE open space! Mary Ellen and Chris Mullins, and Kate Newcomer are great people to work for.  I'd especially like to thank them because this coming December will be my 11th year hosting karaoke there. We started out just doing Wednesdays, then a year later added Fridays and now we've added Sundays! Great food at a low price, cheaper than cheap drinks and KARAOKE! When sports are not on we put the lyrics on the giant screen TV. On Wednesdays and Fridays the place gets packed and it takes a little time to get a song on, so I suggest you come early. Sundays are more tame and it's easier to get songs in.

Well guess what... The Joe show comes to O'Reilly's Pub every Thursday night. You're over the hump so come in and sing some songs, drink some drinks, and partake from their most excellent menu.  I'll have more details after my first night but I will say I've heard nothing but great things about this bar. Remember, it starts on March 25th at 9pm.

Q:

Why does Joe charge to sing Paradise by the Dashboard Light and American Pie?

A:

Because they are both really long songs and in my 15 years hosting karaoke hardly anyone can sing them.  Rather than just removing them from my songbooks, I made the option of paying a small fee to sing them.

Sticks and Stones.

So a few years ago this local magazine writer comes to Locust bar (back when Jake was there) around 11:30 at night.  Those of you that went there know that I have a ton of requests by 11:30.  He demands to sing suggesting that the people that he heard sing so far all sucked.  I told the guy that I don't know how HE sings because I never heard him before, and if he did sing, the others in the room might think HE sucks.  Well he submits his song anyway after I explained there is now way I'd have time to play it because I have people that were there for an hour before him still waiting.   So, midnight swings around and I am off the clock.  This writer gets all pissed he didn't sing and throws a beer glass to the floor, breaking it and exclaiming the place sucks and he's never coming back.  Jake was like "good, don't". 

Now, whenever this guy writes anything about me it's always bad.  I wonder how he would have felt, if he were one of the people I had to bump, to play someone else that had insulted the other singers.  I guess  you have to kiss the ass of the local press (even when you don't know who they are in the first place) to get a good write-up.

It's also amazing that his opinion of me is vastly different that the opinion of so many on the internet, and in publications other than the one he works for .   Next time he goes for dinner and karaoke I suggest an order of sour grapes, to go.
