Keep Your Day Job!

In a move sure to not to go over well with my husband and real estate partner, Chris Wall, I am posting the end of Chris' singing career. Chris Wall (not Wahl as indicated below but oh well) announces the games for Brown University Soccer.  See what happened last year when the CD of the national anthem did not play.  Click on the Link and Scroll down to play the video.  It is worth the scroll down!

From the Brown Soccer Blog - National Anthem – Long-time Brown Soccer announcer Chris Wahl asks the crowd to “Please rise and honor America with the singing of our national anthem.” A prolonged silence ensues. Players, coaches and fans cast inquiring glances toward the scorer’s table, where frantic employees press play on the unresponsive CD player. Then, in a performance that will forever live on in Brown Soccer lore, the vocally untrained Chris Wahl grabs the microphone and says, “Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in the SINGING of our national anthem…Oh-ho saaay can you seeeee….” As Wahl bellows out the tune like a hungry, slightly intoxicated Johnny Cash trying to get through a pre-dinner prayer, crowd members alternately laugh and sing along. He changes keys three or four times, but gets nearly all of the words right and, at song’s end, tips his hat to the crowd and receives a much-deserved standing ovation.

Hear Wahl's American Idol worthy performance here:
