Grandview Terrace Apartments, Mar Vista, Los Angeles |
On Wednesday I joined a small, off-shoot group of the CC Strummers (my ukulele group) for a gig at Grandview Terrace in Mar Vista. Our fearless leader, Cali Rose has been performing at Grandview for years. She decided to take us along this year.
This is a HUD development, offering rental assistance to seniors. Most of the residents at the luau spoke Russian. Music is the universal language, so we all had a great time!
The recreation room was decorated and set up for a Hawaiian lunch.
While we performed, the residents ate lunch. Many of them got up and danced during our performance. I must say, we were rockin'!

Cali Rose is an amazing ukulele player, singer and performer. At one point in the show, Cali was playing, dancing, singing and flirting!
We performed a whole slew of Hawaiian songs with some added Hawaiian-ish numbers in the mix. After the performance our group was served a lovely catered lunch of salad, grilled pineapple chicken, fried rice, veggies and yummy bread pudding for dessert. Thanks for your hospitality, Grandview Terrace!
