I cut my first record in 1958 at the age of 18...I had made a demo in 57 singing lead in
a vocal group consisting of 4 Afro-Americans
and myself...before the record was released, I was voted out of the group and replaced with a friend of the baritone also Afro- American...total pay received $125.00...such
is life....did a lot of Doo Wop back then...
still do...the folks like it and ask for it
a lot....I then tried to jump to swing and standards recording "Satin Doll" in 1959...
should've studied the piano.....didn't, so here I am at age 65 starting to learn how to play the key board...I am working hard at it...maybe one day I'll get it....the point being, I've traveled and performed all over
entertaining since I was 18...I have been here in Mexico for 20 years where I can't get good musicians....had to resort to using
karaoke discs to continue singing and entertaining my customers in my restaurant...
I've had to endure the "Shower Singers" many times, some good and most well, just say they
were here and tried....I do everything here from Willie Nelson to Phantom all in the original keys...so the Karaoke concept will
work with a plan...remember, all of the musicians show up on time, all play in the same key and tempo...no drunks or drug users
no personal conflicts or who is the star and they all work for the same pay...But, I will master this Psr 3000 before I leave this place and when I go, I will leave the legacy
to my now 7 year daughter Francesca who will take over....opps, sorry for babbling, I just want to share the karaoke concept with you all....BTW, DO YOU KNOW WHAT KARAOKE MEANS IN JAPANESE????......

TONE DEAF...HEHEHE
