Review of The Allure of Karaoke Singing


There is always room for work like this, which can coax a smile and a laugh from listeners. This piece deserves to be licensed. A tasty morsel for those of us comprising the humor-hungry audience sector of public radio. People who sing Karaoke off-key on the radio aren't criminals. They're everyday folks seeking pleasure and fun, and it takes courage for the amateur singers herein to pursue those experiences in public. There's more in here than may first meet the ear. Whether you laugh, cringe, shudder, or feel a vicarious embarassment as you listen, the piece holds you. Bravo.
