It’s total pandemonium here at Repent Bar and we’ve got Pattaya Soi Six Karaoke for you thanks to the Nikon Z8
By Jack Corbett
A newcomer joins us at Repent. A tall girl who danced a little with Mali the last time we were here. While we have lots of tequila to share, courtesy of our other Koy, the cashier here at Repent.
And by now, Pattaya Soi Six Karaoke is going strong.
Thanks to Mali who has a small microphone receiver attached to her lapel. While I have the matching transmitter microphone fastened to where the flash goes on my Nikon Z8 camera.
This is the video with the girls table dancing and my substituting Sly in the Family Stone for the music the bar was playing.
Video:
Koy, can't you get off the tables
Mali as always is in top form. While Koy the younger is in a great mood. I will now call cashier Koy, Koy the elder. Not that she's very old. But only because she's got a few years on Koy the younger.
After the new girl has a few tequilas with Mali, Koy the younger, and Kooy the elder, Koy starts table dancing. While Mali starts doing pushups to the music. In no time our new friend is dancing on a table close to Koy. And Repent Bar is going wild with practically everyone in the place watching the three girls dancing. Two of them on tables while Mali shows off her ability to perform pushups to the music.
While doing this video I had Mali change the bar's music to "Kwai Kwai", which I consider one of the best examples of Thai music ever.
Watch
the girls dance to Kwai Kwai, the infamous Thai buffalo song
But the music's all terribly wrong. The girls look great, but the bar's playing that infernal crap I call Da Da music.
Which isn't music at all. It's that awful two beat electronic generated abomination that too many bars are passing off as music.
We really have our Pattaya Soi Six Karaoke going now. And by the time I am well into editing this video clip. I know that both my camera and the girls are spot on. But that godawful Da Da music is spoiling everything.
The solution is to replace the audio track o the video clip with whatever music I want. I pick "Sing a Simple Song" by Sly and the Family Stone.
To my ears this video now both looks and sounds great.
My Nikon Z8 camera is totally professional. It's got not one but two microphones inside it. But now I have my new external microhome plugged into it. I can even control the microphone volume level with this camera. Whether i am using the two internal microphones or the external microphone setup. While I have a powerful amplifier receiver connected to my new 84-inch 4 K television. While I've got 8 speakers projecting the sound I had captured in the bar.
Sly and the Family Stone sound awesome. And "Sing a Simple Song" is an awesome display of musical talent that hails from the 1960's. Unfortunately, I cannot find. as single YouTube live video of Sly and the Family Stone singing it. Because, as gifted as this group of musicians was, it had too many problems to keep it in the limelight for long. Among other things, Sly and the Family failed to show up for over one third of their bookings.
