Karaoke and the timeless lure of performing
before a crowd.
Robert Hedges is among the Hedges descendants who have a
singing voice. He loves to sing with or without a crowd and
get that great addictive chemical rush which preforming gives
him. The high is incredible, especially when he is first trying
a newly-discovered and long-sought song. This need becomes
a driving force in the lives of performers, both on and off the
stage.
The list
which follows here are some of his favorite songs which he
has access to locally, and he has sung. If you plan to invite
him to a karaoke evening sing- along please see to it that
some of his favorites are in the catalog which you make
available. This list has no particular order, except his
song-list is on an Excel chart and can be arranged alphabetical
by artist. There are certainly some accidental deletions.
