HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

What are you thankful for? My list includes ( in no particular order): family, friends, loved ones, pets, music, my job, good health, chocolate, airplanes, beaches, living in the USA, books, sunshine, changes of season, great food, coffee, ice cream, tequila, wine, beer, sunrises and sunsets, the many colors of humanity, imagination, cell phones, and high speed internet. And, when I count my many blessings, I include you. Hoping you have a blessed day and enjoy eating lots of turkey.

We are having a nontraditional Thanksgiving this year. Our son is hosting it, with a Mardi Gras theme. Cajun turkey, creole food, feather boas, beads and masks..... I have been "tasting" that turkey all week! Yum!!

Enjoy your day! Cary

In Memory

Many of you will remember Gene McDaniel from the VFW in Kettering. For the past 15 years or so he has also has come by The Peerless, Chimney's and even to Romer's. Gene passed away a week ago Monday evening at home. Services were last weekend. Gene's wife Laura, wanted me to let everyone know how much he appreciated our Karaoke family. Most especially, Johnny K. for his advice and encouragement. Gene was a great guy and will be missed by many. I was honored to be asked by Laura to come and sing at Gene's wake and was able to break away awhile Saturday to do so. As I looked around the room, I thought, "wow" what a diverse gathering.

Take a look around you some evening. These are people who share a part of their lives, a part of their souls with you on a regular basis. I thank each and every one of you for being a part of my life. And I thank all the powers that be that have allowed me the privilege of sharing a piece of my life with such an extraordinary group.

We also lost another very dear friend who passed last Sunday at Hospice. Curtis Fair was like a father to us and he will be greatly missed. We always visit Curtis and his wife, Betty each Sunday. Some of you will remember Curtis, as he danced the first dance with Brenda at our wedding reception.

Sing with Joy, Sing with Love, Sing in Sorrow, Sing in Pain, Sing Alone, Sing in Pairs, Sing in Groups Sing, Sing, Sing, Sing Sing for Life. The music within you is the greatest gift you can possibly share

Musically,

Cary
