Bart, as usual, was excellent. One truly feels every chord and note. Bart began with Tico Tico, followed by Swinging Shepard Blues, then Tango of Roses and finishing with La Paloma. Thank you Bart, we just do not get enough of you.
Aldo playing the piano
Finishing off the evening was Aldo on the piano. Wow, what else is there to say? Aldo’s music comes from his heart and soul and out of his fingers. What a wonderful way to end the evening!
