Karaoke Club

Despite the heatwave, 30 karaoke singers anxiously awaited their turn to entertain the club. While feasting on crunchy ice cream bars, vocalists engaged the audience with their talent. A first-time singer, Ed Jablonski, gave the club a robust show tune from The Wiz. Bob Barnum sang a dramatic show tune from Sound of Music “Climb Every Mountain.” Sally Glausser chose her show tune from South Pacific.

In memory of Phil Mandeville, several gospel songs were sang by Helen Schultz, Vito Villamor and Ellen Brannigan. Don Sunday wooed club members with the “September Song.” Rose Mary Trujillo had fun singing a Freddy Fender hit. The catchy tune “Ruby” was sung by Pat Paternoster. Wayne Urban always gives a robust selection like “Oh Lonesome Me.” Margie Stewart and Ron Belben lit up the room with “Oh La Di, Oh La Da.” Singing duets is so much fun and enjoyed by the club’s audience.

Karaoke practice sessions are each Monday upstairs in Clubhouse 6 from 1-3 p.m. The club holds karaoke parties on Wednesdays in Clubhouse 1 beginning at 5:30 p.m. Residents can join the group to sing or come to just enjoy the evening.
