offered a varied collection of musical styles and compositions. It was fun to listen to him sing a boogie woogie song entitled "Pigfoot Pete" and even more surprising to hear him end the show with Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of Fire."
It was equally as much fun to watch him interact with the audience. From the looks of the audience, you needed an AARP card to buy a ticket, but they ate him up. He kidded with a woman who was sitting near the stage and had a man join him on stage during one number. They loved all of his humorous antidotes and he dropped enough names to impress us for weeks.
Prior to walking off stage he told us that "to share this music is a privilege," and he was rewarded with a standing ovation. For his encore he dedicated a tune to his best friend and mentor: Rosemary Clooney. As he said, "she's not famous for this song, but she sang it definitively for me." He then sang her classy arrangement of "Memory/The Way We Were." He bowed, saluted the audience and walked off the stage. I couldn't help but be reminded of another great showman that evening, Liberace. It was a night of beautiful music, laughter and my chance to hear yet another OUT artist.
