Last Thursday's (9/30/10) "Senior Prom" at Heritage Woods of Batavia an assisted living community, was a smashing success says the event's cooridinator Laurie Guidry. For singer-entertainer Frank Lamphere hired to entertain at the event, it was a musical reunion of sorts. Frank's regular accompanist, pianist Larry Harris who is also the director of liturgy and music at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church in Aurora was flanked by high profile drummer Rusty Jones. Rusty who was legendary pianist George Shearing's drummer for a number of years, along with Harris, was a part of Frank's band at Villa Verone in Geneva in 2009.
The activities area at Heritage Woods was turned into a beautifully decorated ballroom as the attendees danced to swing, latin, classic ballads, and even some 50's rock n' roll. Wine, beer and hors d'oevres were served as a prom king and a 103 year old female resident was crowned queen.
Below is some video footage from the event. The songs featured are: Nevertheless, Dream Lover and Meditation.
