East Speedway will be alive with the sound of singing this Saturday, as The Loft presents a "Sound of Music" sing-a-long, to be held at noon and 6 p.m. on Saturday.
The Loft website does a smashing job of talking up the event:
"Calling all Nuns, Goat Herders, Hills, Alps, Baronesses, Brown Paper Packages Tied up with String or any of your favorite things … the hills are alive with the sound of the Sing-A-Long Sound of Music! Cheer on the plucky Maria (Julie Andrews) as she moves to Austria, becomes the governess for the von Trapp family, teaches the children music, battles the bad guys and even falls in love with the dashing Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer)!
Sing-a-long with such classic tunes as ‘Do-Re-Mi,’ ‘Sixteen Going on Seventeen’ and ‘The Sound of Music,’ all with on-screen lyrics! Wave your Edelweiss! Dance in the gazebo with Liesl! Bark at Rolf! Snuggle up with Gretel and join in earnest choruses of ‘My Favorite Things!’ Come in costume and dazzle your fellow audience members with your amazing tailoring skills!
This is glorious, music-filled fun for the whole family, so whether you’re an adult, a child, or sixteen going on seventeen, break out that lederhosen, climb every mountain and make your way to the Sing-A-Long Sound of Music for a magical movie experience you won’t soon forget! (Dir. by Robert Wise, 1965, USA, 174 mins., Rated G)

John Coinman is a fine representation of Tucson's musical talents, both in front of the mic and behind the scenes.
Coinman has toured the world with his old pal Kevin Costner and Costner's band Modern West. But it is always a blast seeing him centerstage in his hometown, singing really good songs from his own repertoire.
Coinman will play the Hotel Congress plaza at 7 p.m. The Rebekah Rolland Trio will open. $10.
