What would you do if I sang out of tune?

This was the first February break I had off in seven years and although I had classes on Tuesday and Thursday night, I packed my days and remaining nights with friends and family. As the end of break approached, James and I took the opportunity to visit his parents who still live in James childhood home upstate, NY.  On Thursday night after class, we hopped in the car and started to drive. Since we got a bit of a later start the usual, we were in no rush to make to back for family dinner.  This was the first time, we could remember, not having a plan for when we arrived so we decided to take our time and enjoy the ride together. Quickly this became my favorite ride “home”. About 2 hours into our drive we saw a sign for small town karaoke; we were in a giddy mood and feeling spontaneous so pulled off and stopped at this small town pub.  We ordered dinner and shortly after we found ourselves onstage singing… out of tune of course! This is a picture a local took for us. What a fun night!
