22 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | SEPTEMBER 2020 | Chorale The Chorale of Sun Lakes will not be meeting again this year, although we are working on a plan to bring our annual Holiday Concert to the community on Channel 97 in December. We hope to meet again as a Chorale in January 2021 to prepare for a Spring Concert. To maintain our connection as a Chorale family, we meet via ZOOM every Monday morning at 9:30 am. Interested residents are welcome to join us. We have room for 100 guests. There is a simple YouTube video called "Joining a Zoom Call for the First Time; Fun and Easy Online Connection." It explains the easy steps to join a Zoom call for the first time.

At a time when most of us are down in the dumps due to all that has happened, we think back on happier times when enjoyed comedy in music. I know many of us have turned to our cell phones and iPads to watch old comedy TV shows like Seinfeld or The Andy Griffith Show just to name two big favorites of long time viewers. Well another area of lost comedy can be found in the vinyl records some of us purchased many years ago. I was digging through the 45s in my garage and found a boatload of solid gold comedy. You may recall comedy classics like Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette by Tex Williams or Hello Muddah, Hello Fuddah by Alan Sherman. If you don't remember some of these gems check them out on YouTube and maybe something on this list will make you chuckle. 1. Ten Little Bottles, Johnny Bond 2.

Many of the songs mark the fads of that era such as Disco Duck by Rick Dees or the health food kick with Junk Food Junkie by Larry Gross or the coonskin cap with Davy Crockett by Bill Hayes. If any of these put a smile on your face, then I'm glad you took a moment to escape the doldrums of today through these songs. Now as far as when we will be doing Karaoke shows again with Barb Miller, Rosie Ingalls and yours truly D.J. Blast. It's still uncertain. We will try and keep you posted as soon as we know something. Meanwhile stay safe. Try to keep a smile on your face and a prayer in your heart. Until we see each other, we will keep a warm, disinfected microphone on for you. Karaoke Group Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time. Do you like to sing? Join our Barbershop Chorus!
