This final set in our 30 year partnership ends appropriately with “Hello Dolly”, Dorothy’s favorite signature tune because it resonated as “Hello Dorothy”, with the line “Dolly will never go away again” another reminder that we would be back to do another concert after all the apparent show-stopping challenges we faced over the years. I’m sure she was thinking that too but we never overtly said it out loud so as not to jinx it. Now, Dolly/Dorothy HAS gone away... but has she really? She’s back electronically here and furthermore, I believe that there is an “instant afterlife” going on in this universe. And I believe she’s met up with her favorite artists like Liberace and Louis Armstrong. In fact, the New Orleans style in Louis Armstrong’s version here, was a favorite style of Dorothy’s developed long before her gig in New Orleans at Pat O’Briens as a duelling piano player in the early 1980’s.
Here is a selection of songs we did...
