Reuter Center Rewind, Standing Room Only

Asheville, NC —  A packed audience left standing room only at the Reuter Center Singers Rewind to the 50s performance, 7pm, Friday, May 17, at UNC Asheville’s Reuter Center for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

The dazzling group dressed in fifties attire for the performance, directed by Chuck Taft, who left behind his tux and tie for leather jacket.  Audience members hummed along to familiar tunes, including “Love Me Tender” and “Lollipop.”  Taft’s daughter, Ceili, delighted the audience with a solo, “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas,” and even a canine friend made the stage for “Hound Dog.”
