In memoriam

I just learned yesterday that Laura Branigan, pop star, has passed away. She brought us the newly discovered karaoke gem, "Gloria." I am not sure what else she sang, but surely it was lovely too. As it has been the practice of the soc karaoke-ists to honor the recently passed (e.g., Jerry's tribute to Ray Charles, mine to Mr. Superfreak himself, Rick James), I'd like to suggest a group sing of "Gloria" for next time. Whenever that is.

Really, who's to say it can't be bi- or tri-weekly instead of monthly? Who's to say, Dorotha? Who?

Whenever it is, I'm bringing my own notebook so there can be dueling fieldnotes.

My thoughts exactly...about the Laura Branigan tribute, not the field-notes feud. She also sang "You take my self/ You take my self-contro-ol..." and cowrote "How am i supposed to live without you" with Michael Bolton. Michael Bolton...hmmmmm.
