Wine, cheese, music, theater

There may be only two Beatles left, but there are millions who still know the words to every song and could fill in at any moment — like say, Saturday when the Beatles Sing-Along comes together at the Sebastopol Community Center. Between now and then, you should practice in the shower (preferable every day). But No matter how much you try not to sing out of key, there will be professionals there to lend a hand: Mr. Music and the Love Choir, Solid Air, Doug Jayne, Buzzy Martin, Sherry Jones, Susy Lipsin and Frank Hayhurst. 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sebastopol Community Center, 380 Morris St. $12 advance/$15 door. 823-1511 or www.seb.org.
