Community Karaoke

On Sept. 22 in Clubhouse 1, 25 karaoke singers entertained a crowd that included Ginger Freed, who was urged by Bob Barnum to get onstage herself. She did a fine job on “Release Me.”

Another group of regular attendees was spurred by Tilly Stiehr and Diane Neal to crowd the stage ane belt out “You are my Sunshine.”

Barbie May often sings country and western hits from Merle Haggard and George Jones, just as she did that evening. Tony Tupas smoothly performed “Peaceful, Easy Feeling.” And Ric Dizon did well with the Dino hit “Sway.”

There were also lots of duets, as the singers have so much fun trying to make the perfect harmony.

The club provided ice cream sandwiches that summer evening along with coffee, while other snacks were offered by guests.

Karaoke parties are every Wednesday beginning at 5:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 1. For those who want to polish their songs first, karaoke practice is available on Mondays from 1-3 p.m. upstairs in Clubhouse 6. Everyone is welcome to both.
