Shea Andersen: At the Roundhouse

That's amore, but it's also some bad singing

"Now that's a crime."

That from Sen. John Grubesic as he walked out of the Senate floor after hearing Sen. Joe Carraro sing.

Grubesic had better get used to it. It's Italian American Day up here at the Roundhouse, and Carraro tends to make the most of it.

You can expect to hear lots of "I feel Italian, suddenly" singing efforts, like last night's rendition of "That's Amore" led by Senate Pres. Ben Altamirano from the Senate rostrum.

Here's a short bit of Carraro's statement on today:
"I look forward to meeting and greeting all of the Senators and members of the House of Representatives as well as staff and press for sing-alongs and camaraderie while honoring descendants of such notables as Amerigo Vespucci and Christopher Columbus, new world explorers."

Tonight, that great Italian tradition of...karaoke?
Carraro and his mob have rented out a bar tonight, to pursue further musical mangling. Those who cherish good singing might be wise to steer clear.
