Goldenaires Concert at Josephsons
 
 

Ironwood - August 13, 2009
Wednesday evening the residents of Josephsons Nursing Home, along with family members, friends, staff and neighbors, were treated to a wonderful music concert, by "Marty's Goldenaires" The Josephsons' residence were gathered on the front patio on the second summer evening of the year. (above 40 degrees). Friends and neighbors all gathered on the front lawn to enjoy what would be a warm evening of "hot" music.

And arrive they did! The Drum and Bugle Corps was led this evening, by Dan Patrone, the group's Music Director. The Goldenaires performed a number of patriotic songs, including a medley of Armed Forces Anthems. The group also played the "Beer Barrel Polka which had some seniors dancing on the lawn.
Last evening was also the 100th birthday of Edith Raisanen, (pictured above) a Josephsons' resident. Dan and the Goldenaires played "In the Mood" honoring her birthday. The song of course is from Edith's great era of music.

The residents along with all the rest of us were well entertained and we were greatly appreciative of the terrific concert afforded by the Goldenaires.
