Our short East Coast tour a great experience. A highlight was having double bass extraordinaire Ritt Henn sit in with us at our New York City performance at Googie's Lounge. Ritt's musical presence allowed Rich to play more piano, with Ritt holding down the double bass parts on pieces such as
Thomas, 1 Hit Song, Morning Song and
Mad Waltz. We also did, with great success, a few pieces , such as Sliding and Tale for 2, with double the double bass. We hope to have Ritt join us again at future East Coast performances!
After NYC we performed at the Finger Lakes region of New York State at Black Eyed Susan Acoustic Cafe (a very nice venue!), and then did a fantastic house concert (another highlight!) at Don Slepian's very interesting ArtMusic Coffee House in the Poconos in Pennsylvania. I hope to have some video from these performances up soon.
The weekend before our tour I was privileged, along with my wife Kate and so many family members, to be at my nephew Jonathan's Bar Mitzvah, which was a wonderful event! You can see Bar Mitzvah photos at:
