It was on the piano - awesome arrangement, simple and effective - the clincher was her trademark vocals - takes you where you never expected to be - simply awesome! Yes, as Donald has said, this one needs to be on a record/CD/mp3 whatever your poison be. It was a new venue to her; and to me (despite having been set-up since 2000) - and it was packed! A note at the door said "Tickets Available"... yeah right, a church mouse would've had issues with seating; I guess there might have some seats dotted here and there, nothing really obvious. It seemed that some folk had again travelled from far and wide to catch her in concert (3 hours or more; more pertinently the roads connecting aren't the best or most direct either.) She managed to survive her cold and her voice held out (thankfully!). Happy Holidays to one and all, regards, Paul - --- Gina Golde wrote: > Thanks for the review.
