Great job Steve, Paul and Jarret!!
What a fantastic way to tell the stories of these great entertainers in a unique field! So many people enjoy piano bars. Whether it's a dueling show, solo entertainer, classic lounge crooner, cruise ship, etc..... It's not uncommon to have kids in their 20's and folks their grandparents age all enjoying the same show.... What other form of live entertainment can appease three different generations at the same time?
It's really cool to hear the on and off stage stories of these musicians and all the different approaches to the gig. Very entertaining! Keep up the great work guys!!
Brilliant Idea!
I have enjoyed every interview so far and I always feel entertained and enlightened by the end.
