It's a pretty long list!

The good thing was that last night the 'list' was conversation... but at some point I should write it down!

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/27/08 at 9:56pm

Uh-oh, Tink...

Hope it wasn't too bad!

oh no, I am too chicken to ever get into the "too bad" category, lol.

I haven't been to AC in a couple years. I usually lose whatever I go down with.

I am WAY too chicken...

I did have fun the last time I was in Vegas, but I gave myself a strict limit of play money.

Oh, Addy, what a concert!!!

*sigh*

I always do that, Addy. I know me too well!

DG, it was glorious!

Her song list:

The Glory of Love
What More Do I Need? (from 'Saturday Night')
Take Me to the World (from 'Evening Primrose')
That's How I Say Goodbye (cut from 'The Sweet Smell of Success')
Fable (from 'Light in the Piazza')
Fatso - sung with Victoria Clarke that was absolutely hysterical!
Make Someone Happy (from 'Do Re Mi')
The Sun Went Out - sung with her husband, and written by him
Here Now - a song written by Kelli O'Hara, and arranged by Harry Connick, Jr.
And So It Goes (by Billy Joel) - and she sang it beautifully!
Wonder in the World - sung with Matthew Morrison (written by Harry Connick, Jr.)
They Don't Let You in the Opera if You're A Country Star - written by her arranger, and very silly/funny
I Could Have Danced All Night (from 'My Fair Lady') *sigh*

And, in encore
The Light in the Piazza
and...
This Nearly Was Mine from 'South Pacific', which had me crying...


It was a WOW!

I have a large list and a small bank account. Anyone looking for a tax deduction? I'll play the "poor inner city kid" role.

The songs she has listed on the CD, which will be released May 6, are:

The Sun Went Out
Wonder in the World (duet with Harry Connick, Jr.)
And So It Goes
Here Now
And I Love You So
Spooky
All You Get Is Me
All The Way
Fable
Slowly
Fire and Rain
I Love You the World
I Have Dreamed
Make Someone Happy



I can't wait to hear her sing I have Dreamed...

Addy, I'm SO GLAD you got to see that, because I KNOW you truly appreciated every second of it!

"This Nearly Was Mine" might have done me in, I think. I still can barely make it through Stokes' version in the Carnegie concert.

LOL. Shira!

I have to do a search of the discount codes...

Always a good thing, Addy!

Hello to Addy, DG and Shira!!! Another busy weekend at the Brd house.

[DG]

Posted: 1/27/08 at 10:10pm

OMG - she recorded "I Have Dreamed"?!?!?

The score to THE KING AND I is my favorite - such gorgeous songs.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/27/08 at 10:12pm

DG, EVERY moment.

The songs, the setting, the company... Perfection.
There were one or two tears.

Hi, brd!!

[DG]

Posted: 1/27/08 at 10:14pm

Hi, brd.

Gotta go clean the kitchen and get the stuff out of the dryer before the SAGS.

Have a wonderful evening, all

[NYadgal]

That was my reaction, also, DG!

The 'write-up' for her CD reads:
'Wonder in the World' combines pop music and the unexpected covers with original songs and familiar favorites, to create a 14-track collection celebrating the diversity of the American Songbook. With music arranged and orchestrated by Harry Connick, Jr., 'Wonder in the World' showcases O'Hara's vocal range, as she bridges the gap between contemporary music and beloved standards.'

(And now I'll stop shilling! LOL!)

DG, that is what I did tonight earlier also!

Addy, how is your family? My parents have moved into assisted living. All good! The transition has been tough, but it is all for the better.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/27/08 at 10:21pm

Hi, brd.

I'm glad to hear that your parents made that move. I'm sure the transition was difficult, but I'm sure it will all work out well for them and the rest of the family.

My family report is good. One day at a time, but the days are good! Thank you for asking.

Please say hello to Cookie!

[NYadgal]

Posted: 1/27/08 at 10:26pm

I will, brd!

And now, it's bedtime for me...

Good night, all!

Hey, Addy! Tell Cookie I'm thinking of changing my board moniker to "Kiss My Cupcake"!
