I had the privilege of seeing and hearing the Chemainus Senior Men’s Choir from the Chemainus Seniors Drop-In Centre perform at Cairnsmore Place in Duncan on Tuesday, Feb. 17.
These men meet on a drop-in basis at the Seniors Drop-In Centre in Chemainus; no one has a musical background, but you certainly would not know that to see and hear them perform.
They brought their audience alive.
They do this on a regular basis, visiting the various senior care homes on a volunteer basis to bring a smile to the residents.
I stood in the background, watching and listening to the smiles and claps of applause. I’m sure those residents were silently dancing in their wheelchairs.
Hugh Morrison as the conductor and Ola Sage as the pianist, along with this handsome group of entertainers, should have won an Emmy.
Did I mention that these men are seniors themselves, some of them golden? A wonderful mix all through their 80s.
