I sang the 'I hate men song', "You Outta Know", but I prefaced it with 'but I really don't hate men...tee hee...'

John K., back after 2 1/2 yrs., got up on stage, and commented that Randy Andy looked like he'd lost weight, and sang "Man in the Moon"; 'yeah yeah yeah yeah...'

Greetings, from another Sunday night at Kenny's! It was a trio, with Randy Andy on Bass (welcome back man!);

Kristie Lee on the skins (welcome back girl!), and Joe C. doing double duty on the keys AND lead guitar!

Ryan started off the set with "Low;"

Marky Mark invited me up to sing "Dream";

and making their 'blogworthy' appearance were none other than Ben and Showtime Shon...

...who exercised his falsetto with Earth, Wind & Fire's "Fantasy" - a song on the list for the night, but will HOPEFULLY be added as a permanent song to the list...

...and Ben sang "Brandy", after he, uh, finished his phone call...

...a common theme...

Corey Lim sang a favorite, "Since U Been Gone"!

Selene sang "Time After Time"

Dylan sang "Well she was an 'American Girl'"...

and an all-of-a-sudden shy Ron K...

...'musical director/singer', sang "Crossroads".

Christie ROCKED the house yo, on some "Barracuda";

The Reverend Colin, who said to Andy, who was on his right -- "Hey Alan", sang "Have You Ever Seen the Rain"...

...and Bobby Rappaport sang "Piece of My Heart."

Anna sang some Dusty Springfield, and Davey Monster gave us "The Boxer."

"A Total Eclipse of the Heart"

I rocked out on "Hell is for Children" - which will hopefully be added to the list permanently... props to Freddie, who added in a nice re-verb...

Christina G. rocked out "Joy to the World"; Bill gave us some "Tangled Up in Blue"; Kay sang "Natural Woman."

And then, who shows up but none-other than John A.!

Long time no see!

And it became that time of night...

"Stacks on deck
Patron on ice
And we can pop bottles all night long
Baby you can whatever you like (you like)
I said you can have whatever you like (you like)
Yeah..."

Then, Colin sang "Don't Look Back in Anger"; Showtime Shon rocked out "Mustang Sally"; Ryan called me to the stage for my 'surprise song', "In the End", which was WAY cool; and Jeanette...

...ROCKED OUT "You Outta Know"!

"Still nothing from
'High School Musical 2?'"

'Til next Sunday folks;

your 'blogstress'. ;)

"See ya blogstress!"
