Greetings once again from Pam at ElderAudience!
Some more NEW listings to share in our MUSIC category:
**Tego Burke is a long time musician who plays guitar and sings a wide
variety of music and will also do a “One Man Band” with recorded music.
Tego who has performed since he was a boy, has played for many fraternal
organizations, clubs, and private events, and especially enjoys
entertaining seniors!
**In Cahoots (great name, huh?) is a women’s quartet “that loves sharing
their 4 part a capella harmonies with whomever they can persuade to
listen!” Their repertoire includes Broadway, gospel, and American
standards from the 20′s up to today, often in classic Barbershop style.
They can play shows of any length, from a couple of songs for that special
birthday or anniversary, to an hour (including an oldies sing-along).
Check out In Cahoots and bring them to your facility to serenade your
residents.
**Gordon Neal Herman, a fine pianist who has been listed on ElderAudience
from the very beginning, has just added his Gordon Neal Herman Trio to our
Music category. The trio (piano, bass and drums) plays a variety of
jazz music from the 20′s to the present. Gordon says “From swing to big
band to contemporary, we play a lively style of music that will have
people tapping their toes and smiling!”
**FREE LATE SUMMER OUTING**
Take a group to Tom McCall Waterfront Park on Thursday September 3 for
some fabulous music: At 5pm hear the Portland Youth Philharmonic, and at
7pm listen to the Oregon Symphony! Guest performances by the Oregon Ballet
Theatre. The concert closes, as it does each year, with Tchaikovsky’s 1812
Overture, complete with cannons and fireworks!!
(Read more about both the Portland Youth Philharmonic and Oregon Symphony
in our Music section. They have other concerts throughout the year–with
group discounts– that are great for senior outings.)
**Now is the time to schedule the Westernaires for the fall!! This popular
Senior Western line dance team says “The audience loves us because they
are so surprised that we can dance that long and be their age!” The
Westernaires dance to upbeat recorded music, and are very reasonably
priced for an hour show. Read more about them in the ElderAudience Dance
category.
**Among the many offerings in our ElderAudience Music category is Art
Goodman (One-Man Band). Read about Art and see his fun photo! With a
wide-ranging repertoire spanning swing, jazz, ballads, blues, holidays,
Spanish and more, there’s something for everyone–and Art takes requests.
** When was the last time you heard a solo bagpiper? Schedule Dan DelMain
for a program! Dan is an award-winning piper available to entertain your
residents and play for special events. Here’s what one local activity
director has to say about him: “The Forest Grove Beehive residents really
enjoyed having Dan come play the bagpipes for us. The unique sound of the
bagpipes is a welcome change to our music activities.” You’ll find Dan’s
listing under Music.
Worth repeating this one…
** O’Connors Restaurant in Multnomah Village in SW Portland has GREAT
food, cooked from scratch. I can personally attest to this!! O’Connor’s is
a family owned 75 year old cafe which also has a private dining area
suitable for special occasions. Please see their listing (in our
Senior-friendly restaurants category)for more information. Note:
O’Connor’s requests prior reservations and one check for the group.
And speaking of food, REMINDER ABOUT OUR UPCOMING DRAWING– between now
and July 24, refer entertainers, activities and outings (that your
residents enjoy, please!) to become listed on ElderAudience, and you’ll be
entered in our next prize drawing. For every new listing you send who
becomes listed, we’ll give you another chance. The prize is a certificate
for 4 free homemade desserts from Otto and Anita’s Bavarian restaurant in
SW Portland’s Multnomah Village. No strings attached–redeem all at once
or at different times. Take out or eat there (they have fabulous other
food). Eat the desserts with your colleagues or friends or take a group of
seniors to enjoy them. And heck, even if you don’t win, and even if you
don’t refer a new listing to us, try out Otto and Anita’s! Learn more
about them in our Senior -Friendly Restaurants category.
That’s it for now. Hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of july!
