Oh, you meant singing out of tuneCaribbean Hen wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2026 8:03 amWell, about 30 years ago or so now, our 110 foot yacht moored up in Antigua. I had a few dollars in my wallet and that was it and I don’t take loans. With nothing better to do, I sauntered over to the casino at the end of the pier. I broke out one of the dollars I had in my wallet and changed it for 20 nickels
Word was as long as you were playing the slots, you could get free Amstel lights. My plan was to methodically milk the slots and enjoy several Amstels. The slots were not cooperating with my plan and my nickels were getting really low and suddenly…. ting ting ting … nickels came pouring out …
Good news as I can keep playing, keep drinking and I didn’t have to go back to the yacht yet… needless to say, the Nickels kept coming out and the FREE Amstel lights keep going down the hatch before I knew it it was after midnight. I made my way over to a karaoke stage and found myself singing “When I’m 64”. I have been told by family members I have a wedding singer kind of a voice meaning I can imitate vocals of legends especially when buzzed.
I stayed up there for a long time doing the Beatles songs and I had a feeling that there were a few people in the audience watching the show, maybe even an impresario … Take it Away
and finally the music stopped the lights came on and I could actually see the audience of about 50 ladiesSome even
Sobered me up real quick and kind of embarrassing
So to your Question… lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song and I’ll not to sing out of tune.

I don’t know, but I remember walking around town next day and a couple of the locals saw me and recognized me from the night before … treat me like you did the night beforehoundawg wrote: ↑Wed Mar 11, 2026 6:35 amOh, you meant singing out of tuneCaribbean Hen wrote: ↑Tue Mar 03, 2026 8:03 am
