HIGHLIGHT OF THE EVENT:
Some of the SHC members have expressed to me, their desires to sing with a live band to improve their singing skill.
So I made a request to give special privelege to SHC members to the organiser to allow some SHC members to sing along with a live band if they are suitable.
I am very happy to inform that the organiser has agreed to my request on the following conditions:
1. Singer must be a SHC member.
2. Interested members have to register with me via email (francisemail@yahoo.com)
3. If there are many interested members, then there will be auditon for apporoval as dancing is important with correct rhythm of the singers.
4.Selected members have to come for rehearsals if any.
5.Interested members agree to pay fees for the audition and/or rehersals.
6.The decision of the organiser on the selection of members is final.
If you wish to join me, please send an email to me (francisemail@yahoo.com). Please also indicate whether you want to register for singing with live band.
RARE CHANCE. DO NOT LOSE IT.

Francis, howdy?
Since nobody has said anything, then I shall.
Perhaps, it’s the hassle – auditions, rehersals and paying for them – which makes it slower for folks to warm up to the Singing Nite.
Just 2 nites ago, I was at a karaoke. Only 2 of us. I sang 23 songs in 69 minutes. The guy clapped thru-out and when it came to hotter numbers, he climed up the bar top with the KJ and they danz for joy. There was no need to wait (waiting to sing; worse, if one is auditioning to sing, can make one very nervous). It was easy, no stress.
(Epilogue – an operator of the biggest funeral parlour chain, he has offered me a contract, dead sure that live-performance at such occasions is the in-thing in 2010 and beyond).

Thanks for your comments.
Since I requested shc members to send an email to me if they want to join the singing night and sing with a live band, I had received registrations through emails from SHC members. Some SHC members have registered to come to the party, some for only dancing and some SHC members have also registered for audition, rehearsal and agree to pay for the fees.

Thanks for your comment.
FYI, I had received an email from a SHC member regarding the audition.
I reproduce the copy of his email message to me.
“Dear Francis,
Thank you so much for arranging such a very entertaining jam session with Jeffrey Gan.
We all enjoyed the session. Hope to see you on 31 Jan. I will be singing two songs.
Best Regards,
Sam Soo”
