This is the first post I ever initiated, not sure if this is the right spot to write about a few campers who met up here in eastern Pa at the Colonial Theater for the Al Stewart concert. Felecia Murano (NJ) John Jameson and I (including wives, husbands and friends) had a nice rendezvous Friday night. The concert was billed as an acoustic trio performing the complete "Year of the Cat" album. Our good friend Dave Nachmanoff and another musician Mark (last name?) accompanied Al. Dave opened the show with four of his own songs before Al came out and continued the show with Al's music. Eventually, Al called up Mark to join him. Mark added wonderful accompaniment of percussion and wind instruments including harmonica, flute and saxophone. Mark added the incredible sax solo during 'Time Passages' and also did a little solo work on his own before the break. After intermission, they all performed the complete 'Year of the Cat' album. Dave was great as expected and sounded, especially good after we got his volume turned up :woohoo: ! Mark added a lot with percussion and fills with his wind instruments, and out going personality on stage. By the time Al started the finale, Year of the Cat, Mark had walked off the stage. Just when I realized he was going to miss the sax solo, I almost jumped out of my seat when he suddenly appeared walking down the center isle and started blasting the solo right next to my seat.
It was great show, nice small, personal venue, not sure if I ever want to go to the large arenas any more! Had a chance to catch up with Dave afterwards. Nice evening made more special to share with a few fellow campers!
