The Von Medhus Family Singers
Our family has taken up a new activity--karaoke. Ever since Michelle won the best duet and second best female soloist during a karaoke contest on the cruise, we've all been inspired to venture forth from our showers and assault ears other than our own with our songs. Up to this point, I've sung along with my hubbie, Rune, when he practices his trumpet. A pretty safe bet since it's so loud I can't even hear my OWN voice. But now, we all sit around Annika's cheap little karaoke player that she bought with her allowance and sing Christina Aguilera songs. We sing Michelle Branch, Vanessa Carlton and others, but Christina is our favorite. I don't do Kum Bay Ya, thank you very much. Not unless I'm roasting marshmallows on an open fire. We all suck, though. Except for my daughters, that is. But they refuse to sing my favorite Alanis Morrisette numbers so I have to go it alone. I stop when the dogs start to howl. Especially when they sound better than me.
