Murdo Girl…The making of a star

Mary Francis McNinch

I asked one of my faithful readers if he had a request he would like me to sing at my New Years Eve birthday celebration. He suggested “The Sound of Silence.” I just have this to say..”Hello darkness my old friend. I’ll never speak to you again!” I WILL JUST SING EVERYTHING!

There are so many songs in Ron’s karaoke book. Plus, I have the rap to perform. It’s going to be a long night! I hope they let me take a break once in a while.

I went to the salon to get a crown ready do👸

Someone suggested I should suck on a lemon and drink tea and honey. I’ve been singing, “la la la LA la la la,” a lot. Kip said I need to learn more of that song or less of it. 

Playing on Jamaica Beach after the beauty shop. I didn’t take a pic of my hairdo because the wind blew all the product out.

I have over 13,000 steps on my vivofit watch today which is about 5,000 more than I have been getting in.

Is it okay for a female to sing songs that are sung by guy groups? One of my favorite groups is The Four Seasons. I was thinking about singing “Rag Doll.” I also like “Barbara Ann,” by the Beach Boys.

My taste in music is varied. I also like “Big Bad John,” by Jimmy Dean, and “Singing in the Kitchen,” by Bobby Bare. Oh, I really have to sing “Cheeseburgers in Paradise,” by Jimmy Buffet. With Val’s “Watch me Rap,” there should be something for everybody.

Got to post this. We’re headed to Moody Gardens to the festival of lights. We have to hurry because I’m going to bed 1/2 hour earlier every night so I can stay up til midnight on New Years Eve.

    Thanks for the tip 07. I thought about lip syncing to Lav’s “Watch me Now,” then I decided nah. It wouldn’t be fair to my back-up singers.

    You need to do the la la la LA la la la A couple more times. Then do the me me me ME me a few times and then do oye oye oye OYE oye and then watch me now 10 times and I think you will be ready. Go break a leg Murdo Girl.

    I think you have a solid plan Murdo Girl. Best of luck staying up late. I rarely see the ball drop at Times Square. Can’t wait to hear your songs. You’ll do fine.

      I’m counting on the microphone 07. I’ll probably send a little clip out to the masses right after the rap. Either that, or I might do some live streaming.

    Wish I could’ve seen your hairdo! If you go to bed a half hour earlier every night, won’t you want to get to bed earlier from habit, not later? Practice staying up later. ( I like all your song choices. Good taste in music,cuz.)

      I’m putting on my tights and tap shoes in the morning. We’re practicing at the clubhouse at 10 am. Oh, I forgot to tell you, they stop at 11:00 New Years Eve and watch the ball drop in New York…cuts down a little on the pressure.
