Recently I had a chance to perform on the cruise ship ms Veendam, (Holland America) and had an awesome time cranking out tunes at The Piano Bar. A beautiful Yamaha Grand piano was my instrument and it was such a pleasure to play, I don’t know if I could ever go back to my digital piano having been spoiled by the richness and tone of a well crafted instrument like the one under my fingers every night for one month! I met some amazing people and developed some great friendships during my stint. And on my last week I formed “The New Supremes” out of some of the ladies who frequented sitting around my piano, and we sang “inspired” versions of “Come See About Me”, “My Guy”, ‘Where Did Our Love Go”, and of course, ‘Stop In The Name Of Love”! Who sang lead you ask? They all did!
Carter Barron Amphitheatre was the site of a weekend gig on July 17 featuring D.C's own, The Jewels, The Impressions, and "The Ice Man" himself, Jerry Butler. Last time we played D.C. it rained and Obama was not in the White House. However, this trip both the weather and "The Prez" were "on the one". Although vacationing in Maine, The President was not in town; neither did he have the slightest knowledge that we were playing in the city! Not to worry…The packed house was all we needed as we brought back the memories of the great music that dominated the consciousness of America during the 60's. It was very humid during the sound check, but cooled off later that evening for a beautiful night time concert. The audience was on their feet as we open with "Move On Up" (that always gets'em) we ended with a celebratory "It's Alright" as everyone in the house remembered the "Blue Light In The Basement" days. GOOD ONE!
Ah yes…The Piano Bar Play List. Probably good for the first two sets, (if that) and then it’s “wing it off the cuff” kinda stfff. Where else but at a piano bar you can go from one end to the other. One gendre to another. All in the flick of a segue or key change. Want Cole Porter? How about Embraceable You?… Got It! Want Michael Jackson? How about I’ll Be There?…Got it! Want Frank Sinatra? How about, I’ve Got You Under My Skin?…Got it! Want Free Bird? I don’t Got It…And You Don’t Want It Either!!
