I realize that I never reported back. (That's cuz I did, but on facebook...)
Beautiful, warm night on Cape Cod on July 11.
I ran into a former coworker (who had retired) before the show and had some big laughs.
It was a sold-out crowd at the Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis--mostly older white folks. The band and singers made the best of the strange, revolving, in-the-round stage.
There was magic in the air, for sure! The band and the singers were ON! And the audience was super responsive.
Of course, the highlight was special guest ARI SHAPIRO, who, just that week, had been promoted from London bureau chief to co-anchor on "All Things Considered". He was in great voice, singing in several languages, including Spanish, Greek and Armenian. My favorite was his version of "La Soledad", but when he sang "Yo te quiero siempre" (I will always love you), I knew he was singing directly to me.
