Community Karaoke

Despite a rainy night, 39 karaoke singers arrived in the club’s temporary home in Clubhouse 4 on Feb. 7.

The audience listened carefully to the haunting melody “Suzanne” sung by Eileen Merritt. The song “Flowers” sung by Mariza Joaquin has a surprisingly strong beat that encouraged the dancers to move.

The audience loved hearing songs about rain performed by Nina Tordorov, William Young, Karen Morris and Ray Geierman.

A new edition to the club’s song book, “Whitehouse Road,” was well done by Bob Barnum. Essie Hicks put nice emotion in her choice “Dust in the Wind.”

Erika Greenwood gave the audience a popular Paul Anka tune. There was lots of dancing in the aisles during this lively evening.

The club meets each Monday in Clubhouse 6 from 1-3 p.m. for practice sessions where people can try out a new song or hone a favorite.

Anyone can join the club’s karaoke evenings full of music, laughter and fun each Wednesday night from 5:30-9:30 in Clubhouse 4.
