(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, December 14, 2012 ) Sterling Hgts., MI – Sponsored by American House under the direction of Tracey Price, the Christmas luncheon party brought hundreds of area families together this past Friday, December 7.
“I noticed several in the audience closing their eyes and remembering past Christmas parties or concerts,” reported Ms. Price. “This is always the best time of any year to reflect on the happiest times of our lives.”
Michael Carluccio’s favorite concert activity is to walk through the audience and implore individuals to sing along with him. “Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t work,” confessed Michael. “But, at least it leaves a smile or a giggle.”
Not many people remember the classic Christmas songs from entertainers like Burl Ives, whose song Have a Holly Jolly Christmas, is always on the radio. Yet, when Carluccio belted his rendition of Ives’ song, everybody was swaying and singing the words before it ended.
Burl Ives was an American actor, writer and folk music singer. As an actor, Ives's work included comedies, dramas, and voice work in theater, television, and motion pictures. Music critic John Rockwell said, "Ives's voice ... had the sheen and finesse of opera and it moved people."
In 1957, Frank Sinatra asked composer Hugh Martin to revise the line, "Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow." Sinatra told Martin, “Do you think you could jolly up that line for me?" The song’s new line became, "Hang a shining star upon the highest bough."
Michael Carluccio obviously agrees with Sinatra as he always ends his performances on an upbeat note, leaving the audience wincing and wishing there was more.
