I saw Dionne Warwick in Atlanta in the 70s and her band didn't make it

[redstateblues]

She did the whole show playing her hits on piano by her self. Pretty amazing!

1. Wow. A lot of well-known and even well-regarded vocalists would not be able to do that.

2. now that would have been a show to see

to see the singer rise to the occasion

3. Rather than call off the show she winged it.

Now that's a trouper.

4. You know who it would have been cool to see do that?

Elvis. He was a pretty good piano player. Imagine him sitting alone on the stage singing gospel music. I would have prefered that to a fat guy in a flashy jump suit doing Karate moves.

5. She was able to predict, psychically, that it was going to happen, and so had plenty

of time to prepare.

6. I wish I could do that...

Never learned to properly play anything but my vocal chords.

I am in awe of anyone who can play any instrument and even more so if they can do that ans sing. The ultimate being someone who can play a number of instruments and be able to sing while switching back and forth from song to song. I know several artists who can and I feel a little intimidated when I work with them.

7. Did her band just....

walk on by Atlanta?

[lpbk2713]

8. They only know the way to San Jose.

9. All because of their foolish pride.

10. Someone should say a little prayer for (all of) you.
