Last night was a little weird.  The "band" at the bar consisted of two people, a man playing guitar and a singing woman.  But the music coming out the speakers also had a bass and drums, so what the hell?

The guitar player had a computer next to him, and he was fiddling with it before each song, so I went up and asked.  Some gobbledygook about synthesizers and stuff.  The upshot was he programmed it all, so it's his music, but is he even really playing the guitar?  He was fingering the frets, and his other hand was hitting the strings, but as the evening progressed I began to doubt whether what I was seeing was making it to the speakers.  The whole thing was apparently a self-made Karaoke.  Is that maybe the way they all do it now?

The singer would have been good if she hadn't been so fakey.  You know how they say the worst insult you can give to an actor is to say "good acting"?  Well, her singing was "good acting".  I wondered what kind of a person she was really.  No way of knowing from last night.  Or was she even singing?  Maybe she was lip syncing too.

The sign outside the bar said next weekend they're gonna have what they're calling a "Slut Strut".  I won't want to miss that one.
