Community Karaoke

Bob Barnum and Walt Bier entertained karaoke enthusiasts on Jan. 19 with the fun duet “Ain’t Misbehaving.” Essie Hicks shows a lot of expression in her song selections, choosing “On My Own” from the musical “Les Misérables.” Richard Yokomi delivered a smooth “I Wish It Would Rain,” a popular tune by the Temptations, while Vito Villamor can always be counted on to sing a catchy, dancing number. And Patsy Cline’s “Crazy” is a favorite of Pat Kogok’s. Erika Greenwood sang “Jose Cuervo,” which was new to her, while Pat Paternostra and Barbie May tried out “To All the Girls I Loved Before,” joking with the lyrics. Anna Le performed a strong “S.O.S.,” and Arlene Pollard bravely joined with her caregiver for “Islands in the Stream.” Wayne Urban and David Noble put a lot of punch in their songs and like to surprise the crowd with a booming finale.

Everyone is welcome to join the karaoke parties every Wednesday night at 5:30 in Clubhouse 1.

Masks are worn except while singing, and the microphones are repeatedly sanitized.

The same protocols are followed at the practice sessions in Clubhouse 6 on Mondays from 1-3 p.m.
