Online Country Music Karaoke

I’ve got to tell you, 10 years ago, when I was just starting with Clark Internet, I never saw this coming. In 1995, driving down that dirt road, hitting potholes and approaching the dairy barn that had been converted into ClarkNet’s first official office, I knew the Internet was going to change the world; but who knew we’d see THIS! But, regardless of my own personal lack of vision, it is here.

Behold, there exists now this thing called online country music karaoke.

I discovered this underground phenomenon quite by accident. A meeting online with someone whom I had just started chatting with.

I love doing that, by the way. Chatting with people all over the world; talking about their lives, their families, etc. It just so happens that I caught this friend while she was in her favorite chat room, Country Music: 20. She mentioned that she was in her room playing a song for a group of friends and so I thought, “hey, she’s having a party and I’m interrupting.”

But that wasn’t it. She probably chuckled when I asked if I was interrupting a party. Anyway, she took pity on me and sent me an invite to the country music chat room. She then told me to activate my “Voice” feature on the Messenger Chat window to hear people in the room.

And that’s when I heard it, country music karaoke!

At least, that’s what I call it. All of these chat rooms folks were taking turns, sharing the microphone and singing their favorite country tunes. Some of them even sang their own songs, playing along with their guitars. And some of them were really good.

And I was able to meet, not one, but two nice people tonight. Now if I could only find that Yahoo chat channel, “Obscure Progressive 80’s Tunes,” I’d be set.
