WOW – I never thought I’d have to write this post. But then, we humans do tend to ignore our mortality, don’t we… Karaoke By Figmo is no longer hosting any regular weekly shows. Sorry, Friday night peeps. We not doing Jokers anymore. Don’t ask – I won’t discuss here. But if we cross paths in the future would be happy to bend your ear over a beer. But remember….you’re buying…..cause I’m unemployed LOL!! Back in 1999 who would have thought that a retired software engineer in Coeur d’Alene would end up as a DJ in Missoula? Certainly not me back then. But, with shaky hands, I handed my ticket to the carny at the gate. Climbed into that strange cart and blindly rode the weird roller coaster ride that would become Karaoke By Figmo. There were times as I reached the peaks that my hands were in the air and a big shit eatin’ grin was on my face (think Reno days). Then there were the terrifying plunges that had me holding on with two white knuckled hands fearing for my life. And curves. Oh yeah baby – a shit load of a curves. Had me guessing at times why I was even doing this. There were times when I thought I was doing it for the money. Other times, I thought I was doing it for my own human ego. Who knows…back in my single days – maybe I was doing it to meet chicks. The reasons seemed to change with each new stretch of track. But now, as I look back at that wild ride – I realize what I am really going to miss and I think I know why I was there all along. All those years what I was really doing it for was….*YOU*. I know it sounds corny. But seriously. My mind is flashing with a million memories. Seeing you laughing. Seeing you dancing. Oh gawd…seriously? The way you dance! LOL Sometimes sad and coming to see me to find some comfort. Then finding new hope in your life and coming to see me to celebrate. All these images of looking out at you from behind my microphone will be forever burned in my brain. I swear to God – *THAT* is why I did it. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your lives. Trust me when I say that you’ve been a *HUGE* part of mine. Now……one last song before we go. All together now…. https://youtube/watch?v=_bTdLi0YUVM
