It all began back in August of this year, with the New York State Senior Idol contest, sponsored by 50 Plus Lifestyles, in which over one hundred crooners (50 and over) competed against each other. The field was narrowed down to forty, and in September, once again, the field was slimmed to twelve. Long Islander Ann Fisher is from Plainview, and says, “I’m doing this because I love to sing. Whether I win or lose does not make a big difference to me. I’m honored that the judges think I’m in the top twelve.” So, on Saturday, October 22nd, at 2:00 p.m., Ms. Fisher, along with five other women and six men, will compete in the third and final round for the prizes of two plane tickets, some cash and other miscellanea, as well as possible exposure to opportunity. “Hey, I’m being interviewed by LongIslandExchange.com. I’ve never been interviewed before. Who knows if this will lead anywhere? I hear Newsday will be there.” After all twelve singers perform, the judges will select the top male and the top female performer. A final sing-off will then determine the Senior Idol. Catch the performances, beginning at 2:00 p.m., in the Sports & Exhibition Complex on the Brentwood Campus of Suffolk County Community College, just off Crooked Hill Road.

Ann Fisher has been singing in her house, around her children, and now, around her grandchildren all her life. On Saturday, October 22, 2005, she gets to employ that talent before a crowded arena on the Brentwood Campus of Suffolk County Community College. In fact, twelve people will be doing just that.
