Everything Has A Beginning....

and this blog is not exception. Most of you who will read this will probably figure out who I am, but for those who don't, just call me the Fuzzy One. I am FKP's (French Kiss Production's) unofficial chronicler. Wherever Teri, or one of her many cohorts are in Kentuckiana, the Fuzzy One will be in close proximity. I will posting running commentary on her many venues and performances. Interesting singers will be highlighted, as will songs that we wish she had in her selection. Also, I will be including reviews of the place that we call karaoke home.

This week's karaoke stopping place is a relatively new kid on the block. The Bard's Town is located on the corner of Bardstown Rd. and Speed Rd., right across the street from The Body Art Emporium. Owned by the trio of Scott Atkinson, Doug Schutte and Jon DeSalvo, it's a wonderful little tavern. Walking in, you are almost immediately greeted by a warm and welcoming staff, who will lead you to a seat in the wonderful main dinning room. Or, if you wish to sit in the cozy lounge, and sing a spell with Teri, that's OK too.

The lounge area is a little small, compared to the main dinning area. This is alright, though, as it makes the atmosphere that much more intimate. Each table, during the evening is adorned with these adorable little electric candles. The stage is in the corner of the room, and is large enough to accommodate a small band, which is perfect for a single, or duet karaoke performance. Teri is situated in the opposite corner, with two large widescreen TV's hunge on the wall. One is facing the stage, for the singers, and the other is around a small corner, just so the audience can sing along.

The menu is, in my humble opinion, awesome sauce incarnate. The names of the dishes are plays on Shakespeare's classical literary wit, that I am sure the Bard, himself, would appreciate. To date, I have only had the honor of trying The Bard Burger, a huge ground beef masterpiece that I had to take home with me, for lach of belly space. Their prices are reasonable, and, even though I am not a drinker, their alcohol selection was satisfying.

One thing that attracted me to this place, was the knowledge that they were in the process of renovating the second floor of the establishment to create an actual theater. Upon talking with Scott, he was happy to say they planned on putting on locally written performances. Not only that, but to my understanding, the stage will be up for renting to other acting troupes for their own productions. Woot!!!!

But, I digress. This place was nice enough to include the first lady of karaoke, Teri French, as one of their varied entertainment attractions. This includes a weekly jazz band, and even an open mic night. Teri is there from 9-1 on Wednesdays and 8-12 on Sundays. My understanding is that this is a family friendly place. So, with the great menu, the reasonable prices, the great entertainment, and the awesome atmosphere, it would be my recommendation for even a non-singing outing

Well, that's the end of this inaugural post, and my first review. With the advent of my little NetBook, on the go blogging has become a real and honest possibly, and more will be coming soon. Look for Teri around town. Next post will be a detailed listing of all her gigs, and those of her various stand ins that work for FKP.

See you folks on the stage...
