Community Karaoke

Despite the chilly, foggy evening, a nice crowd came to enjoy Community Karaoke on Dec.

1. Host Walt Bier set the mood with a holiday tune, “Christmas in Dixie,” and Tony Tupas followed with “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire).” Other wonderful carols were sung by Essie Hicks, Ric Dizon, Leila Claudio, Danna Sanders, Karen Morris and Albert Comia.

There was also a mixture of showtunes and pop hits performed by 35 karaoke singers. Ellen Brannigan did the peppy song “My Guy,” while Bob Barnum sang the prayer “Ave Maria.” And Vito Villamar entertained the line dancers in the room.

The club will celebrate the season with a Christmas party and some special treats on Dec. 15.

Everyone is invited to join karaoke practice on Mondays from 1-3 p.m. in Clubhouse 6 and the Wednesday-night karaoke parties in Clubhouse 1 beginning at 5:30 p.m.
