The Old Soldier has been on duty since 6:OO AM. How’s everyone doing? The city is getting a light dusting of snow and the high will only be around 34 degrees. There is karaoke tonight at Del’s and the Old Soldier is building up his courage to try a totally new song: No Such Thing by John Mayer.
Now I know from the get go that I am not going to do well singing this song. I don’t know the words and have never done it before in public. But we’re talking karaoke here my friends.
If you do as much karaoke as I do you find out that there are two kinds of karaoke singers. The ones who sing the same three or four songs year after year and the ones who try different songs.
I prefer to be in the second group.

And since this is a blog, trying something different on your blog is a good thing, too. A good blog has to have a focus; but every once in a while you want to give your readers something unexpected.

The reason the Old Soldier is such a fan of karaoke is because he is a frustrated lead singer. I took my experience as a lead singer and made a story out of it.
The story is from the archives and is included in the article “Writing About Rock ‘N’ Roll”. The article will have a limited run on the Front Page starting today. Be sure to check it out.

The Best In Erotic Flash Fiction Entertainment And Much More
January 24, 2012 — pittsburghflashfictiongazetteI’m your host, the Old Soldier. I call myself the Old Soldier because I’m a Vietnam War veteran. I call this blog a news magazine because its editorial content covers blogging and writing with commentaries and reports on items in the media and on life that the blog’s readership may be interested in. Female sexuality is one of these items.
The Old Soldier will guarantee you two things. You will find content that may be too sexually explicit for your enjoyment; but you will also find content that you will enjoy very much: like some of the best mainstream, literary, erotic and sexually explicit flash fiction on the internet.
And I am eager to publish your poem, non-fiction and short story. Check out Send Poetry, Anything Goes and Submissions at the top of the page. The Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette has gotten over 4, 500 hits so far this month. People will see your work.
