Birthday Show 2014

January 13th, 2014 · No Comments

Every year, I do a show around the time of my birthday, January 7.  This year it took place at Jalopy Theater on January 3.  Joining me were David Gold (viola), Ralph Hamperian (tuba), and Doug Roesch (guitar).  Despite snow, unusually low temperatures, and speeches from the mayor urging all New Yorkers to stay at home, there was a nice crowd.

We played my songs and instrumental music, with a few covers:

The Star-Spangled Banner (as rewritten by Hoagy Carmichael)
Oh Dear, Oh Dear
The Fussbudgets’ Ball
Insects Have Taken Santa’s Place
Gravity
To the Lions with Them
Your Parents
In Memoriam
Don’t Talk to Me
We All Work So Hard
The Glorious Town
Laughter
My Face Is in the Sand
Viola
Mindin’ My Business (Gus Kahn & Walter Donaldson)
Volare (Domenico Modugno)
It’s Your Loss, Boss
People Like You
No More

Encores:
Buenas Noches, Little Roaches
You Better Go Now (Bickley Reichner & Robert Graham)
