Community Karaoke celebates friendships

Karaoke tends to create friendships among singers and audience alike, and the room is always jumping with music and socializing.

Clubhouse 1 was packed May 18 with enthusiastic karaoke folks. Among the 41 singers was first-timer Frank Farmer, who entertained with a gospel song. Julie Nulod did a fine Bobby Darin tune, and Leila Claudio amused the crowd with “Dream a Little Dream.” Myrrha and Ren Villaneauva sang a lively duet, while Erika Greenwood and Terry Humphrey stood strong with “Stand by Your Man.”

In honor of Tillie Stiehr, who leaving LW, Ellen Brannigan changed the lyrics of the song “Hello Dolly” to “Hello Tilly.” According to John Hlavac, “Karaoke is one of Tillie’s favorite things to do.”

Essie Hicks, Josie Cade and Tony Tupas served pizza to the 80 folks in the room, who also enjoyed ice cream bars. The club thanks David Noble for arranging the delivery.

Everyone is invited to join the fun on Wednesdays starting at 5:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 1.
