Golden fünf Ringe

You better watch out you better not cry, Barry White is coming to work. The sing-a-long is always a hoot and a holler or two. For about the 8th year in a row the Roberts Camera crew has had the 5 Golden Ringer reservation. For the first time Dorothy and Will were in the crew. Sadly and not for the first time I came in with the burgeoning of a sore throat. By the end of the nights wassailing I was a vocal coaches nightmare. Harvey Firestien meets Lurch. You Rang, mmmmmmmm? You, Sang? oohhhh. The sing along brings together all the different crowds that gravitate to the Chatterbox at different times of the week and night. Many of the regulars are vaguely familiar with each other on the overlap of each groups dynamic, but on the Wednesday before Christmas day all join together in voice and make joyous music to raise the tin roof. Once again the Edith Bunker singers got in on "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," that one and a baritone belting of Five Golden Rings (Cinco anillos de oro) saw to it that I am hoarse and coarse and for the next few days. Still I would not miss it for all the falsetto in the world. This is a night of hugs and warm smiles and lots of laughs too. When everybody drops their preconceptions (which makes the already crowded aisle a bear to traverse) and just has real fun.

Todays picture is from Mondays party at Kays. I got there and had no primary memory card (the one I had room on was in the Mobile Command Center mainframe at the World Headquarters) so for the first hour at Kay's people came and went and I had to remember it all on the grey matter instead of the micro shipped storage device. Finally not long before we were to head home I checked my small back-up memory cards and erased one that I had downloaded most of to the computer already. This is Erika and Leanne at their absolute cutest. This is the only photo I took at Kays. I took about 6 shots at the Sing-A-Long but have not the time or energy to process them this morning.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD WEEK!
