They call it radio bingo

Two blogs I ago I covered supporting causes. I mentioned several upcoming events and one that we enjoyed last night. It was BINGO fundraiser, but of another kind:Radio BINGO. We enjoyed it; believed all who attended did.

 

The net proceeds supported the Pythian Diabetes Research Association (My good friend Craig Shink serves as its president.). Instead of numbers and letters, a DJ played song snippets.

 

All attendees had cards with 25 squares set in 5 columns and five rows with song titles and the artists. Just as in regular BINGO, you win games by vertical horizontal and diagonal straight lines across fives boxes. For some songs, played near full length you could dance.

 

A fun event and it raised some cash.

 

A full house so perhaps a reprise in the works?

Some songs I knew and recognized on the opening chord. Some songs listed I knew not at all. In a few cases, I preferred other, original versions, as opposed to the covers; one got played; one did not.

The easiest way to make an old woman say the “f” word is to yell out. BINGO

Sounds like fun.

Great Turnout! Trivia meets Bingo, is a very intense idea. I would have palpitations.

Interested choice. Was not on my card. Wonder if it appeared on any others. (Folks will have to go to your Facebook to learn the tune.)

I am amazing there are some songs you do not know. Looks like it was a very full house so hopefully lots of money raised while you all had fun.
