Karaoke Night
"Tonight we sing!" announced President Tito as we piled into various cars for the long drive to his house.
He and Grace have 2 houses. They lived in the smaller one for years and when the adjacent house became available, they bought it as well and had an architect join them somehow. Now they have a splendid garden, where we sang the night away. Their neighbours must be very tolerant. And of course, we ate. And ate.
I know we poo-poo karaoke back home but, by God we had lots of fun. The Three Amigos were game to get up there and belted out a rousing rendition of Pretty Woman, which came to be their standard song. We heard it often when the karaoke was brought out.
Hans and Fernando sang... Fernando of course, by Abba, and did a darn good job of it too. Of course the bottle of scotch they had in front of them helped a lot. Fernando's wife Marleen looks on and she has a fabulous voice. As did so many of the Filipinos. No wonder they enjoy singing - they're very good at it.
