I'll be singing for my Ozaukee Idol life this coming Thursday (the 23rd) at Concordia University in Mequon Wisconsin at 7pm. It's free to anyone that wants to come in and watch. So if any of you live in the area and want to check it out, you are welcome to come!
There will be both the Idol and Junior Idols singing. 20 people total i believe.
All I have to do is make it through this one, and I'm in the finals Sunday August 2nd at the Ozaukee County Fair.

I'll be singing the Johnny Cash song "Folsum Prison Blues" for the semi's.

That's where I go, only difference is mine's in MTL. For a minute I had thought your coming down here.

Anyways Cheesey good luck, wish you all the best. Make us proud :thumbright: .

---

Good luck, my d00d!

And an EXCELLENT song choice!!!

---

Good luck Cheesemeister and as they say "Break a leg"

And if the judges don't put you through "Break a neck" lol!!!

---

Folsom Prison Blues, the Dhazer PackersHome version (For practice, Cheesey)

I hear Dhaze a 'comin

He's whining yet again

And he ain't seen no sunshine since,

Brett Favre said "The end."

He's stuck on T - T hatred,

And Aaron Rodgers too,

He cries amongst this forum

And brings us Crabtree pooh.

:wickedfart:

Knock 'em dead, Alan!

LOL Foster!!!LOLOL!!!

The good part is, the head judge was giving me pointers for the FINALS at my audition. I said "But I'm not even through the semi's yet!" and his response was "You'd really have to screw it up not to make the finals. Your voice is too good."
So as long as i don't collapse, i should be in the finals.

---

A-HA! Now I know it was you on top of that crane that I saw. I thought I heard some howling and screaming coming from that direction.

Good luck Johnny. Are you going to wear all black? If you win maybe I can get you a gig at my Mom's retirement home. They have entertainment at least three times a month; some fair to good and some they put up a Blues Brothers Net in front of. Man, some of those old folks can really chuk those canes.

---

Good luck cheesey! Tape it, and we expect to see it on-line!

---

Hey Bob!
As a matter of fact, i AM gonna wear all black! Gotta "feel" the role as well as sing it.
Wischeez, my wife will be recording it. But as of right now, i don't have a camcorder with USB hookup, and i don't have a firewire hookup yet either.
I might be able to get it done somehow, but right now it's up in the air. I WANT to post it if i can figure it all out.
I have a nephew that says he can put the firewire port into my computer. It's just trying to get him over here to do so.
So we will see.

Man, you are screwed. Packers Training Camp starts that weekend. There's no way you're going to make it to Ozaukee. 🙂

---

Well......the Packers will have to wait for ME then!

---

Haha! Yeah, that's the ticket!!

---

Well, it worked for BF for a few years, didn't it???
LOLOLOL!!! :thumbright:

---

It's THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck Cheesey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

I hear that train a comin'.....

Good luck cheese man.

THANKS GUYS!
I'm off right now to go to the hospital for my "maintainance" workout. I have to be at the university by 6:15pm tonight to get ready.
I'll let you all know how it turns out!

---

WHOO HOO!!!
I had the crowd going! (No, i don't mean they left!)
I'm in the finals!
There are 9 finalists for the "Junior Idol" contest, and 6 adults for the "Idol" contest!
Man...was it FUN! The ONLY problem was with the sound system. But they did the best they could with it. Everyone was clapping along with the song as i sang. They had 4 judges, and not one of them had anything negative to say about how i did.
You guys would have loved it!

So.....Sunday August 2nd, i will be singing for the title at the Ozaukee county fair. Admission to the fair is FREE.
The contest starts at 1pm, at the Centre Stage.
So if any of you want to see it, come on and watch!
I really have a good feeling that i have a real chance, even though i have some great competion. It was fun sitting and just watching the other contestants.

---

I have been waiting for your post. I did not want to wish you luck, as I looked at it like a "No Hitter." Just shut up and let you sit at the end of the bench alone.

Heretofore... I am not going to say congratulations. I am not typing anything... other than to let you know.. I am sitting at the other end of the bench watching.

Get your glove... Get ready for the next inning.

---

Kick ass. What are you going to sing in the finals?

Thanks again guys!
I'm going to do the Los Lonely Boys song, "Heaven".

The only downer last night was, they had all of us get up on stage to make the choices. One young lady that was in the Jr. Idol part was next to me, and didn't make it to the finals. She started crying, and i felt so bad for her.
When we got home last night, my wife had me hook up the camcorder to the VCR so i could watch how it went. Honerstly, everything from the time i walked on stage till the end was a blur to me. I knew it was going good, but couldn't honestly remember any details. Seeing it myself, i was SHOCKED at how much better of a stage presence i had from last year to now. I REALLY had fun doing that!
Now....on to the 9th inning!!!
