So, I happened to be in the Tacoma, WA area on business this past weekend, and thought I would stop into Lonman's show.
All I have to say is that everything he has said on Karaoke Scene over the past 11 years has been all lies. Let me count the ways.
First off, his venue is NOT like he describes it. Here's a picture I took:
So then I go to say hi to Lonnie, but I can't find him. I think he must be off, because some other guy is running the karaoke. I ask the bartender, and he says that the guy IS Lonnie. Anyway, his picture must be from 1992, because here's what he looks like today, singing "Talk Dirty to Me" by Poison Saturday night:
Apprehensive, I go say hi to him after his performance. He's happy to see me, and offers to get me up next in the rotation for $5.00. I don't have $5.00, but before I can say anything, he goes and orders a Mai Tai on my tab and considers it a done deal.
When I get up on stage and get the chance to check out his PA system, here's what I see:
ALL BEHINGER WITH VOCOPRO MICS!!
Good thing his 54,352,345 song playbook had the Soundchoise version of the Eagle's song I wanted.
Anyway, as much as I enjoyed meeting Lonnie, I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon.
Happy April 1 everybody!
