Even though the Captain tries his best to keep the Admiral away from karaoke, we were invited by new best friends John and Elizabeth to join them at Bonita Bill's for what they promised would be a great evening...and they weren't wrong! Thankfully, the Admiral kept her seat (having asked those at the table to shoot her if she got up, and the Captain asked them to shoot him too just in case she lived -- he'll pay for that one) and we all enjoyed the music.
We were joined by Todd and Allyson (son-in-law and daughter of William and Poor Old Judy -- more Mayberries growing wild!), who were in Ft. Myers to celebrate Todd's birthday. He wore the traditional family birthday hat (featured earlier on son Eston in Key West), which is passed on with an addition for each new recipient. The addition this time was a line attached to the hat and a coozie so he could always have a beverage handy. The hat was a huge hit, as it was in Key West, and could have been sold for a hefty sum.
The karaoke was buckets of fun (there were also pitchers of fun on the table, but that's another story), with performers ranging from very young (~12 maybe?) to quite mature (~80 maybe?). But by far the best, most popular and sought after performer was Allyson, who did a rousing Dixie Chicks solo, then performed Happy Birthday on stage with Todd, then.....surprise!!...a duet with William. The DJ was so impressed with Allyson that he asked her to attend his session on Saturday night also. Maybe a new career is in the making?
