My sincere thanks to the Lyric colleague who recommended OperaGram.com® to Alan. Alan came into town from California to celebrate his sister’s 60th birthday. What a shock our Chicago area weather must be to his system!
Fortunately, the cold weather didn’t prevent Joanne’s friends and family from celebrating her special birthday. When I arrived, spirited conversations and a warm, beautiful home welcomed me. The conversation was so spirited, it took singing a really loud and high note to capture everyone’s attention.
What I love about what I do is that it makes people feel good. I get to experience the best in people. I see smiles and/or tears, hear laughter – and I even get hugs ;). Tonight I got two!
Thank you, Alan. And thanks to everybody who joined in a round of happy birthday to Joanne after I delivered my message. Good health and long life, Joanne!
Oh, happy birthday Joanne
from your dear brother Al,
your sisters, Ruth and Sue, who
all say you’re quite a gal.
Your son, Chris, and hon’, Peter,
think you are real swell too.
They all are here to sing
a happy birthday to you,
to celebrate your life with them
and thank you for all you do.
Happy Birthday, Joanne!
Love, Alan and the Gang!
