One of my biggest dreams has always been to sing with a band. Well, last night...I lived the dream!!
We were at a local establishment, and the band was great. I was dancing and having a blast with some friends. I noticed that "Hit me with your best shot" was on their lineup.
Before I could stop myself...I walked right upto the keyboardist and offhandedly said," Ya know, if you want a female to sing Pat Benatar, I'm your chick. My name is Joanne"
Well about five songs later, the lead vocalist announced that they had a guest singer in the house and invited me on stage.
Okay...I ROCKED IT!! I wasn't even nervous. I remembered all the words, my timing was spot on. The band members gave approving looks to one another. The crowd went crazy. My friends were taking pictures. It was such a great moment.
After I was finished, they gave me a T-shirt with their band logo on it. Imagine, giving ME a gift when they were fulfilling MY dream!
It doesn't get much better than that.

oooooh wow. :) that is so perfect.
k, that is SO awesome! where's the pics?
Were you better than Jen singing "Sweet Caroline?" Lindalew : )
Awesome. 'Hit Me With Your Best Shot' is totally my signature karaoke song :)
I believe this all began in 1985 when you did an airband to "Splish Splash I was taking a bath..."
If there is a michrophone plugged into a wall, Joanne will always try to sing a song. I have seen this countless times at karaoke bars, piano bars, and churches. Even the old recording studio that used to be in HMV. (How many years ago was that??? 20?? YIKES!!)
Wish I could have been there, sounds like it was a blast! You really need to phone me next time you go out. We can have a Pat Benatar/Neil Diamond sing off.
