June 20, 201115 yr I can't wait to see this concert! Not only do I love Tom's music, I knew his piano player (Tedd Firth) when I was in college. And I've seen them live, they're awesome!
June 21, 201115 yr Author I watched it, was a good performance. Tom sang one of his trademark songs, "Makin' Whoopie", and also featured the "50 Checks" song from "Catch Me if you Can." And I've never heard a jazz rendition of "Summer in the City" before but they did a heck of a job with it.At the end of the show, Tom is giving kudos to the band, naming each performer. "Ted Firth on Piano"... ect. Then Tom says, "And if you didn't like the show...I'm John Schneider!" Clever, ain't he? That cracked me up. By the applause though, I don't think Tom had anything to worry about.
