30 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JUNE 2020 | Chorale The Chorale of Sun Lakes will hopefully have its annual summer picnic as soon as life in Sun Lakes goes back to "normal," whatever that is, and what a wonderful reunion it will be! The Chorale will begin weekly rehearsals every Monday morning, sometime in September, for its annual Holiday Concert in December. If you love to sing, please join the Sun Lakes Chorale for fellowship and music like no other! For more information, contact Chorale Director Mark Faber at (951) 797-0120, or dmfaber@me.com, or Secretary Linda Vieira at (951) 797-0315, or lvieira@eltree.com. Cheeseburger In Paradise One of America's all time favorite fast food meals is, of course, a cheeseburger with fries and a Coke. Almost since the inception of the fast food drive-through, we have been conditioned to getting our breakfast, lunch and dinner in a New York minute. Another faction of this instant quelling of hunger pains throughout the years was the invention of the TV dinner, instant coffee, minute rice, and many other easy home fixes for a fast meal with little or no prep time. We have become a society of impatient citizens who have trouble waiting for anything that requires a sacrifice of our norms in life. I too, am that kind of person. I even have trouble waiting to open my Christmas presents as they sit under the tree. While we wait in endless anticipation for a light at the end of the tunnel during these trying times of the pandemic, we have to keep our eyes on the prize. Most Americans have been very good and diligent in following the rules and guidelines of wearing masks, gloves and social distancing as time on the clock ticks away the hours and weeks. Many of us who immerse ourselves endlessly on the Internet have been rehearsing karaoke songs with YouTube videos for that grand day when we can once again sing for each other. Maybe you'd like to try a song about waiting when we finally get together again. Here are some ideas and a short list of pop songs with waiting as the subject line or the main premise of the song: 1. I Can't Wait, by Nu Shooz 2. Til Then, by The Mills Brothers (also) The Classics 3. The Waiting, by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers 4. Wait For Me, by The Playmates 5. Wait, by The Beatles 6. Tired Of Waiting, by The Kinks 7. You Can't Hurry Love, by The Supremes 8. Anticipation, by Carly Simon 9. It's Been A Long Long Time, by Harry James with Helen Forrest 10. Time Won't Let Me, by The Outsiders Waiting is very difficult. We must wait for things to blow over. Meanwhile patience is our only friend. On behalf of our Karaoke team, Barb Miller, Rosie Ingalls and myself, D.J. Blast, we look forward to seeing you, hopefully sooner rather than later. Until then we will keep a warm, disinfected mic on for you. Let's all try and keep the faith. Karaoke Group Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time.
