Community Karaoke

On March 23, many of the 28 singers chose hits from a favorite artist. Ric Dizon is known for selecting Elvis Presley tunes, and Don Sunday sang the beautiful Barbra Streisand hit “The Way We Were.” The smooth, silky voice of Tino Tupas is always appreciated; some have said he could be called the club’s in-house Frank Sinatra crooner. Bev Adams, Ellen Brannigan, Nina Todorov and Vito Villamor all sang popular gospel numbers. And country and western numbers sung by Elizabeth Butterfield, Gerry Tagaloa, Pat Paternoster, Julie Nulad and Barbie May perked up the audience. Anyone who wants to try out a new tune is welcome to join the group’s practice sessions on Mondays from 1-3 p.m. in Clubhouse 6, then perform for an enthusiastic crowd in Clubhouse 1 on Wednesdays starting at 5:30 p.m.
