Singing Happy Birthday!
Mary Lamars, a former member of City of Palms chorus, was just absolutely delighted that Tamiami Sound Quartet came to sing Happy Birthday for her. Her 2 sons, daughter-in-law and caretaker were there as well. Know someone that needs a serenade? Reach out to our quartets and find one for hire! https://spiritofthegulf.com/quartets |
