Community Karaoke

Many birthdays were celebrated at the April 17 karaoke party. Members feasted on warm sandwiches and birthday cake for Vinny Correnti, Essie Hicks, Tony Tupas and Vito Villamor. Joy Enstad sang a fine “Leavin’ on Your Mind.” Four newcomers were warmly welcomed as they bravely took the stage: Craig Goll, Don Bruszer, Manuel Burgos and Joan Rosenberg. The catchy “Margaritaville,” sung by Tony Tupas, had the audience swaying with the music. Frank Miller’s “California Sun” was another happy-go-lucky number. Richard Yokomi was at ease with “My Girl.” Forty singers kept the audience entertained. Closing out the evening, a happy group gathered to join their voices to sing a few more popular tunes.

Monday practice sessions are helpful to singers. They’re held each Monday in Clubhouse 6 from 1-3 p.m. Karaoke parties are Wednesday evenings in Clubhouse 1 at 5:30. It’s a social night that keeps people engaged with a variety of music provided by friends and neighbors. All are welcome.
