The Brighton Musical Phantom returns!
Randy Morris, Musician January 2019 TBA, Holiday Hills Ballroom
Randy Morris is an outstanding musician in both the
theatre and classical worlds and will return to the
Holiday Hills ballroom in January (we’ll set a date
when the Holiday Hills 2019
calendar rolls out) to amaze us
with his versatility. Randy did
a wonderful job last year at
the Lakewood Cultural Center
accompanying the silent film
“Phantom of the Opera” and
was here last April perform-
ing piano/organ duets with
Bob Flinn. Randy is Music
Director and Organist at Zion
Lutheran Church in Brighton

East High School graduate Douglas Fairbanks.

Fly Me To The Moon!
March 2019 TBA, Holiday Hills Ballroom
We had such a fun time last January celebrating the
wonderful Bing Crosby with music and memories it
seemed a good idea to honor another American mu-
sical legend: the incomparable Frank Sinatra. Our
March social will focus on this amazing man and his
music. Please be thinking about your own personal
favorite Sinatra tunes and memories, and if you
would like to be one of the club members sharing a
song or two (or more!) and stories of how Frank Si-
natra has been important to you. One of our club or-
ganists would love to accompany your vocal solos,
play a piano/organ duet, or maybe you’d like to take
a turn on the beautiful George Wright theatre organ.
“Mile High Banjo Society”
The Mile High Banjo Society put smiles on our faces
at our November social with a packed-program of
old standards, bluegrass and Dixieland tunes. Donna
Smith did her best Sophie Tucker impression!
“Hunchback of Notre Dame” Well-known Detroit organist Lance Luce did an
outstanding job accompanying this classic 1923
feature-length silent film on the Lakewood Cultural
Center's STR-4 organ in October. Lance's
accompaniment was imaginative and beautiful, and
made wonderful use of this organ's amazing
resources. LCC House Manager Linda Black is
renown for dressing up as a character from the
featured movie and her “Esmeralda” was winsome
and je ne sais quoi. C’est magnifique! Merci!
“DeLoy’s Generations Trio!”
Back again by popular request DeLoy Goeglein and
the Generations Jazz Trio returned to the Holiday
Hills ballroom in September for another well-re-
ceived pro-
gram of jazz
and pop
tunes that
were fun to
listen to.
Bandleader
Marianne
Finch sings
and plays
bass, her son
Dino plays the drums and also sings, and DeLoy
plays the piano with his smooth, relaxed style. Fol-
lowing intermission DeLoy played a nice program
on the GW4Q digital theatre organ.
