Description: This month we’d like to introduce you to our newest class, a Guitar class. We’ve had various stringed instrument classes here before, from 88 strings on the piano, to four on the ukulele. Now it’s time to learn how to strum and pick on the guitar. Your instructor is Tony Castaneda. Tony has been teaching for 20 plus years. He started when he was ten years old after seeing an ad in a comic book, where one could sell seeds and win a guitar. Well he ended up winning a Gene Autry guitar and has been playing ever since. The class is FREE and Tony takes on all levels of experience. All a student needs to bring is a guitar, a music stand, a pick, and a willingness to learn and practice. Tony will handle the rest. Classes are held on Wednesdays from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. in the Exercise room.
Prime Time Choraliers
By: Mike Sylva
The members here were treated to a special concert performed by the Inland Empire Prime Time Choraliers. They were invited by the Executive Director, Penny Lilburn, to sing a few patriotic songs in honor of Memorial Day. The group is directed by Jo Stewart and accompanied by Herb Iverson on piano.

The group fit right in here at the center as the Choraliers’ are a group of seniors whose average age is 75. They love to sing just about anything and everything. For us they did some well known songs, such as “America the Beautiful”, and “Home on the Range”, to more unknown, yet just as beautiful songs like “Swing Deep & Low”, and “This is My Country.”

The concert swelled to a great finale as they ended with a Service Medley, with rousing renditions of the Caisson Song (Army), Anchors Aweigh (Navy), Wild Blue Yonder (Air Force), and the Marine Hymn. (Sorry Coast Guard!).

If you would like to join the Choraliers, no auditions are necessary, but you must be a senior and be able to carry a tune. They practice at St. Pauls United Methodist Church on Tues from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m.
