Two of my favorite singers/songwriters: James Taylor and Don McLean. They're both from
about the same time period, both relate to a generation that grew up listening to them, and are both still out there performing
all over. They're considered the top of the list for many of us, with fabulous songs, wonderful lyrics,
and heartwarming memories for all.
I've been playing and singing their songs since the beginning of
the 70's. Following the success of the "Simon and Garfunkel Tribute" with Moni, I decided that these two super-performers
deserve a tribute as well.
In the show, I explain why I decided to do both of them together
in one show. I tell lots of short stories, amusing trivia, and behind the scenes anecdotes about these two artists, interspersed
with the many songs that I sing. I perform the show with a lot of love, and usually feel disappointed toward the end that
it's coming close to 'get-off-the-stage, you’re-done' time.
I'm also able to do a "Round Two" in which I don’t repeat any
songs that I performed in the first show, nor tell any of the same stories and still give two full hours of music enjoyment.
(Unless of course the crowd really wants to hear "American Pie" and "Fire and Rain" again...)
I do the show for audiences both small and large. It's a very relaxed show, where you
can sit back and close your eyes and just drift off down memory lane. I'll perform anywhere there's an audience for me: house
concerts, fundraisers, concert halls. Uh, almost anywhere.
