John entertained the residents at MVNRC on March 25th, 2024, and was enjoyed by all. John is famous for singing a variety of songs including Show Tunes, Oldies, Hymns, and Spiritual songs. He entertained our residents with his songs, antics, animated moves, and direct interaction with residents. Our residents had a great time as they sang, smiled, laughed, listened intently, clapped, and interacted with John.
A few of the songs in his repertoire included: “The Red, Red Robin”, “As Irish Eyes Are Smiling”, “I Believe”, “Were You There?”, “How Great Thou Art”, “You Are My Sunshine”, “Tonight’s the Night”, PA Polka”, and “What Now My Love?” to name a few.
For years John sang in his church, as well as other churches. John’s singing career soared in 1973. In 1975, John recorded the first of his 4 albums, which was entitled, “Only a Shadow”, on location at Holy Ghost Catholic Church, in Bethlehem. John also sings at weddings and memorial services. John has been performing at Nursing Facilities for the past 15 years.
The residents had a great time, and the hour went by so quickly. At the end of his program, he received a loud round of applause and cheers. John stated, “It’s an honor to come here to perform and sing for you.”
