HAMILTON, Ohio (WXIX/Gray News) – An impromptu concert at an Ohio Goodwill featuring an elderly singer has gone viral.
Diana Garvin travels to nursing homes to sing to residents. Recently, her karaoke machine broke down, so she went looking for a new one.
That’s when the 77-year-old ended up at the Goodwill in Hamilton on August 8.
He reportedly found a karaoke machine on the shelf and wasted no time grabbing the microphone, entertaining patrons including John Schuerfranz.
Schuerfranz told WXIX that he took out his phone and started recording Garvin’s musical performance.
“All of a sudden, I heard this angel singing on electronics and I thought, ‘Well, I have to go and see what this is,'” Schuerfranz said. “Sure enough, she was there with her karaoke machine and singing ‘He’s got the whole world in his hands.’ I thought: ‘I have to share this with the world’”.
The video currently has more than 34,000 views on Facebook.
“I love music,” Garvin said. “I don’t do it perfectly. I love music and I love people. I have my own special way of talking to people.”
Garvin said he was going to buy the karaoke machine, but someone beat him to it.
“Another customer bought it and gave it to Garvin for free,” said Michael Flannery of Ohio Valley Goodwill Industries.
Garvin said that now he would be able to entertain his friends from the nursing home at karaoke night once again.
