I had an interesting evening tonight at the Junction 115 Karaoke Bar in downtown Kingsport. I had wanted to do some photographs there for quite a while and catch the Elvis act of Barry McCoy, a local fellow who loves the karaoke scene. There was a varied range of singers from awful to pretty decent performers. I personally think anybody brave enough to attempt a song in a room full of strangers is very brave. Barry eventually showed up complete with a dark blue Elvis jumpsuit explaining that he had just left a marriage counseling session because he is getting married in April. "Gonna wear an Elvis suit," I asked. "Nah...don't wanna spill something on it," he replied. "They cost too much." Barry has seven such Elvis jumpsuits in various colors. We watched a few singers and Barry did his version "Kentucky Rain" to round of applause. We sat and talked for a while as the music gradually changed from country to rock as the evening crowd became increasingly younger. It was a very entertaining evening.
