Hey, I have a new blog post up about how I achieved my goal of karaokeing in all 50 U.S. states when I sang in Hawai'i in the final hours of 2018! Have you been to Hawai'i?

Since 1959, the U.S. has consisted of 50 states; in that year, Alaska and Hawai’i became the most recent jurisdictions to gain statehood. Just visiting all 50 of the states in the sprawling n…

Check out my first new blog post since February! It's about how Malta became the 50th country on my World Karaoke Tour - with gorgeous views of this Mediterranean island nation, lots of history thrown in, and even a discussion of the classic film "The Maltese Falcon"!

Yes, I’ve been sadly derelict in keeping this blog up-to-date. As I dispatch this post into the interwebs, the tally of countries in which I’ve karaoked stands at 59. There’s work…

As I prepare to knock off the final 8 U.S. states that I haven't yet karaoked in, my epic new blog post recaps the 14 new states and 1 new Canadian province that I visited and sang in in 2017. There are photos and videos galore. Check it out!

As detailed in this post, in 2016 I continued to place a high value on international travel but added a new focus on seeing more of my own country, the United States – with the ultimate goal …

I have a new blog post about my visit to Mongolia last year, and how it became the 49th country on my World Karaoke Tour! Would you like to go to Mongolia?

Not every mass-murderer gets an international airport named after him. But Genghis Khan wasn’t a run-of-the-mill genocidal dictator. He was a larger-than-life figure whose massive empire was …

My new blog post discusses how the Asian mountain kingdoms of Nepal and Bhutan were added to my World Karaoke Tour in May 2017. Have you been to either of those countries?

I sang “Katmandu” in Kathmandu. And I’m excited to be able to say that. However, of the pair of songs that share the name of the city, I kind of wish I’d gone with the other…

Last night, in the city of Manchester, New Hampshire became the 41st state in which I've karaoked! Normally I do live Facebook broadcasts of my "road" karaoke performances; but due to a weak signal in the bar that I sang in, my transmission cut out almost immediately and no video was generated. But you can take my word for it: I sang in New Hampshire, and now I'm only 9 states away from having done karaoke in all 50! (Arkansas is next, 2 weekends from now.)

Because the bar last night was holding a Halloween party as well as its usual karaoke night, I sang "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett.

Have you been to New Hampshire?

Happy Sunday! I have a new blog post that tells the story of how, last month, Czechia became the 51st country in which I've karaoked. Have you been to Prague? If so, do you like it as much as I do?

I’ve fallen a little behind — okay, a lot behind — in updating this blog to keep pace with my international karaoke appearances. Prior to this post, my last blog entry chronicled …

I have a new blog post about my visit to Doha, Qatar, and how Qatar became the 45th country in which I've sung karaoke.

What’s the correct way to pronounce “Qatar”? Prior to my brief visit to that tiny nation on the Arabian peninsula, I’d been under the impression that the proper pronunciatio…

I have a new epic blog post about my visit to the ruins of the ancient city of Petra in Jordan. Is Petra on your list?

Prelude: the day and night before The longest ride On the first day of 2017, a taxi ferried me from Jordan’s capital city of Amman to Petra. You may wonder why I’d arranged for a taxi t…
