"This guy's really friendly and nice with kids." That was the verdict on Curt Cool, DJ for the First Day School karaoke night January 21, 2012. Curt works as a professional DJ several nights a week.
Among singers were the Bangleys, the Cohens, the Hollingsheads, the Rubels, the Atwell-Keisters, and of course organizers Eric Starbuck, Walter Mead, and Ian Samways.
Music varied from Rolling in the Deep (Adele) to Truckin' (Grateful Dead) to Games Without Frontiers (Peter Gabriel) to Masochism Tango (Tom Lehrer) to Volare (Dean Martin).
Food was great for potluck. Roast chicken and several homemade vegetarian and other dishes.
If you want to meet Curt, talk with Ian or Eric. Come to one of Curt's gigs.
