A Kewaunee County musician is getting a great response from his new audiences this summer, including a 105-year-old woman in Allouez. Mike Peterson of Kewaunee, like other entertainers, has been greatly impacted by restrictions set down to deal with COVID-19. On Tuesday, Peterson was grateful to be able to perform at an assisted living facility and sing to Edna and other residents at Allouez Sunrise. Not knowing that he was going to be able to perform for Edna for her fourth consecutive birthday, Peterson shares why he loves to continue to entertain for the elderly.
Peterson sang requested songs of “Side by Side” and “Five foot two, eyes of blue”, and a truly appropriate one for Tuesday.
Peterson says outside arrangements with social distancing and face masking made the special birthday event possible as well as very memorable.
