Highland Harmonizers
"Coincidence" can bring some of the nicest surprises. When I went to the mutli-generational center with its gym and weight room to sign up for membership, rousing music was coming from down the hall, a senior sing-along, which I later joined once a week. One of the guys there invited me to check out the singing group at Highland Senior Center, a bunch of retired people up to 90 years of age who entertain at nursing homes and wherever invited. It has been a delightful experience.
Tonight we performed for a club that meets at a piano store, with our cute 81-year-old violin/fiddle player bringing down the house, as usual, singing her rendition of "I Just Don't Look Good Naked Any More." She reminds me of my crazy Mama, who taught me to play the fiddle, and learned along with us when we got the old player piano that no longer worked properly, terribly out of tune. I figure Daddy's $50 was well spent.
