A great evening!
by fansfrombklyn2 on 3/26/12St. George Theatre - Staten IslandWe knew the evening would be special when we entered the beautifully Rococo lobby of the St. George Theater and saw the Richmond County bagpipers ready to perform. They were a nice welcome for Ronan Tynan, the Irish tenor with the booming voice. He sang a lovely selection of ballads accompanied by Billy Lewis on the piano. Mr. Lewis himself, has quite a beautiful voice and harmonized with Mr. Tynans on many of the songs, as well as sang a little known Irving Berlin melody about Aesop, the able fable man. After Mr. Tynan's set, Judy Collins performed many favorites while bantering about her youth and how she got to where she is today. She could still hit the high notes and her voice got stronger as her set went on.
