Community Karaoke

R& B, soul and pop songs were in heavy rotation on May 11. Karaoke singers kept the crowd swaying to familiar tunes, including “Put Your Head on My Shoulder,” as sung by Barbie May; Sarah Vaughn’s 1957 hit “Make Yourself Comfortable,” as performed by Pat Kogok; “Sentimental Journey,” as sung by Rob Illingsworth; “Higher and Higher,” as done by Richard Yokomi; “Down on the Corner,” as performed by Nina Todorov; and “Up on the Roof,” as sung by Karen Morris.

Duane Owens, Ric Dizon, Kyung Choi, Bob Barnum and Julie Nulad were also among the 36 performers to take the mic.

Vito Villamor donated sandwiches in honor of those celebrating a birthday in May; ice cream bars were also consumed with appreciation. Everyone, whether a singer or listener, is welcome to join the karaoke fun in Clubhouse 1 on Wednedays beginning at 5:30 p.m. Anyone wanting to practice a tune should go to Clubhouse 6 on Mondays from 1-3 p.m.
