Community Karaoke

A small gathering of karaoke singers sat in the shade of a LW greenbelt area to enjoy a lovely evening and be entertained for a few hours. Wearing masks and social distancing, people enjoyed the music. Host Walt Bier attached a disposable microphone sanitary windscreen and cleaned them before each performer began. Carolyn Mottola took precautions to place chairs at a 10-foot distance from the singer and keep everything sanitized. The club appreciates everyone who invested time and energy in helping to set up and return equipment to their owners. Tommy Williams kindly loaned his sound equipment. The success of this outdoor event was due to the combined effort of many.

A popular karaoke singer said, “It made my week just thinking about getting together with friends and singing again.” People tapped their toes to country western tunes, swayed with the love songs and line danced to “Achy Breaky Heart.” Music helps people forget their troubles and brings joy to the heart.
