27: CMC Songs of Yesteryears 30 Mar 2012

The theme for the day's enjoyment was "Italian Holiday" with music and songs to match. Ps Edmund de Souza's sermonette on "What you can learn from an Italian Holiday" hit the right chords, especially with Bible text to illustrate a point.

Guest singer was Ernesto who sang Dean Martin's oldies and imitated Elvis Presley and Louis Armstrong. He delighted the gathering with his delightful renditions.

Richard Toh added to the enjoyment with his jocular quips and Albert Wong sang nostalgic ballads that pleased everyone's listening appetite, with music from Kenneth Tan at the keyboard and Henry at the drums.

After much relaxing exercise in dancing and singing, the day ended all too soon with a fellowship meal in the canteen. All in all, it was a very enjoyable day for the seniors!

Next month, CMC SOY goes Hawaiian. So get there in your grass skirts and floral garlands. Aloha!
