The Singing Trooper

Janice and Dan Clark

Dan Clark, “The Singing Trooper,” performed a wonderful benefit concert for Cape Abilities on Sunday, Nov. 6 at Nauset Regional High School in Eastham.

His show was a hit from start to finish, moving the audience from laughter to tears with a varied program that included patriotic songs, Irish tunes, ballads and show numbers. “Impossible Dream,” “American Soldier” and “Proud to be an American” were among the songs he covered; a truly diverse performer, he threw in an Elvis number and an Irish dance tune. He dedicated the classic “Danny Boy” to the late Chris Nickerson, who was a Cape Abilities participant and whose sister, Janice Nickerson, serves on the Cape Abilities Board of Directors and organized the concert.
