Happy Hour this Friday, sing with Alvaro

Information on happy hour this Friday (January 14th) at the Italian Club in Ybor. Alvaro came up with this idea.

I am an accordionist from Florence, Italy. It could be fun to meet and sing some Italian and Neapolitan songs together; I could accompany and we could download the texts online. I would be glad to read the pronunciation before singing. I would love meeting anyone who loves Italy and us Italians.

So, here is our chance to become Italian idols! :-)

We'll meet at the Italian club in Ybor City for their weekly happy hour, and we'll belt out some Italian tunes (3 to be specific). There is a PDF file that I will send you for the lyrics.

Happy hour lasts until 9PM

All you can eat food buffet (optional) is $10. Last time they had a nice selection - chicken marsala, other items, pizza, salad, and cannoli!

If you are a little shy about singing, don't worry a cash bar is available to loosen up your vocal chords. smile And if you are singing challenged like myself, don't worry, it'll be a lot of fun.

Hope you all can make it, Alvaro has graciously offered his musical skills, so let's make it a nice concerto!
