Could you really imagine it any other way? Of course the birthday grrl had an absolutely faaantastic time.

Highlights for Charissa included the debut of Greg-the-Human-Karaoke-Machine on the baby grand with Steven-call-me-Marilyn, with a touching Happy Birthday; "Amigos Para Siempre" together with her favorite percussionist/conductor, and "Rubber Duckie" with the fantastic Gregory.

Charissa's second favourite percussionist, quite clearly enjoying his night.
