I'm just a singer in rock band

So last weekend while staying with friends in Montecito, I sang in a rock band.  Which is to say, they had the Rock Band video game, and we all grabbed the "instruments", and I ended up singing.  I blame the Sea Smoke Pinot, under which influence I will do most anything. 

So yes, there I was, singing to the Sweet's Ballroom Blitz, full gas: "ready Steve?, ah ha, Andy?, yeah, Mick?, okay, all right fellows... let's GOOOO", "and the man in the back said everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz", "she thinks SHE'S THE PASSIONATE ONE".  It was pretty ugly, and pretty excellent.

Oh yeah we did some Black Sabbath and some Jethro Tull and even Edgar Winter.  Sadly, I do know all those lyrics, and sadly, I did belt them out at full volume.  Let me just say that I'm glad no recording exists.
