Senior star in the shopping mall

The lady in the picture is a friend of mine, performing as the first local contestant in this year's nationwide Senior Star Competition, a sort of Canadian Idol contest open to anyone over 65 (so Chris and I don't qualify), sponsored by a chain of retirement residences. I went along this morning to add to the applause after Melita's piano medley. The event took place at the St Laurent Shopping Mall. I don't yet know whether Melita got through to Round 2 as I made myself scarce after the second and third participant had had their go, and went back to my shopping.
