Community Karaoke

It was a raucous crowd at Wednesday night’s karaoke party. “Monster Mash” was the popular song of the night celebrating Halloween sung by Karen Morris, Rob Illingworth and Edward Jablonski. Mariza Joaquin and Elena Aroz, joined by many others, danced in the aisles to upbeat music sung by Gerry Tagaloa, Frank Miller, Ellen Brannian, William Young, Vito Villamor and Vinny Correnti.

Martha Destra delivered a bouncy “Still the Same.” Dotti Brooks had fun with “Boots Were Made for Walking.” Benjamin Shin did a powerful gospel favorite,“You Raise Me Up,” as did Helen Schultz singing “Precious Lord.” Michael Berthold sang the cute Elvis tune “Honey Money.” It was a busy night with lots of anxious performers.

People can join the fun night out in Clubhouse 1 each Wednesday evening. Plan to recognize songs from the past sung by friends and neighbors. Some folks sing because they’re happy and some because it makes them happy. Everyone is welcome. Karaoke practice sessions are held Monday in Clubhouse 6 from1-3 p.m.
