Well corblimey! It was SO memorable I plumb forgot it. My community college was having a Karoake contest. I summed up the courage to sing in public...and looking through the songbook, found "Can't Get It Out Of My Head" by ELO. I was SOOO excited! I stepped up to the mike...I was sculpting with alabaster that day, and I was covered in alabaster dust...then that oh-so-familiar piano and strings started up...My cue came, I opened my mouth "Midnight--on the water.." All of a sudden, all fear fell away. I wasn't nervous Mbo anymore, I was Jeff Lynne on the stage at the Winterland in '77! Oh it was gorgeous! Wow....I didn't care if the stupid kids my age were yawning and looking bored...I was the king for 4 minutes and 21 seconds!
