Jack, I'm with you on that one. Several times I've been at bars (or parties) where people were doing Karaoke on a song that I do with my guitar, and I wished I had to option of playing and singing, instead of only the Karaoke option. I regret that there are so few open mikes nowadays. (Maybe someone could set up a combination Karaoke/open mike--i.e., folks could do a Karaoke song if they wanted, but they'd also have the option of playing their own instruments if they chose. I imagine that a lot of the time, the live instruments would go over better with the crowd.)

Breezy, FWIW, I do sometimes use my guitar as a drum on an otherwise a capella number.
