TERRY DARbY With a Song
in my Heart
after thinking about it for some time, i have decided to hang up
my microphone and no longer host karaoke at spurline on thursday
nights. i have had 5 1/2 wonderful years of listening to some
of the greatest voices and...okay, a few of the not so great. But
the best thing about our karaoke has always been that i used the
term “we have no heroes here.” everyone was welcome to sing
and everyone was applauded for their efforts. first time singers,
some nervous and excited, always walked off the stage with
a smile. they did it! i want to thank the owners of spurline jim
and Michael from the bottom of my heart. Who knew that when
you asked me to sub a few times until you found someone permanently,
that all this time would pass? You have always been
fair with me and have praised my work as a host and singer. You
are both the best. What would i have done without my amazing
friend christopher Durbin, my “partner in crime” behind the
bar on so many thursday nights? You have a beautiful voice
and soul and i’ll miss our duets. to jason, terry, stephen and
all the other thursday night guys, you were all the nicest reason
to come to work. i hope all you singers will come see jeff at
karaoke on sunday nights. My friend, you are the coolest! i will
be there to croon a tune with you when i can. finally, to all my
regular and faithful singers, thank you for coming back time after
time, year after year. You are all in my heart...with a song! Love
to all my spurline family and friends. terry Darby
