FROM A SMALL GROUP OUTING TO AN AALL TRADITION

At the 1997 AALL Annual Meeting in Baltimore, a small group of law librarians found a Karaoke bar & attempted a song or two. The outing continued informally until 2001 when CS-SIS officially sponsored the event for the first time, dubbing it Karaoke with Ken, for its enthusiastic leader Ken Hirsh.
Since its humble beginnings, the event has continued to grow in popularity. Last year’s outing to Cafe Japone in Washington, D.C. brought out more than 75 AALL attendees, many of whom were new singers. In addition to Ken, previous AALL singers have included Tori Trotta and George Pike, along with many others.
Don’t be intimidated if you don’t have a superstar voice. Karaoke singers range from the truly great to the truly awful and we have fun no matter who is singing. If you’re not a singer, that’s OK, too – just join us for the camaraderie.
