IT sings? ? ?
Interesting Times, the Chairman of the Free Republic Network was aboard with his wife and two totally enchanting crumb crunches.
He gave a concert just for us in a shipboard salon. Seated at the piano with a mike at his lips, he both played and sang contemporary tunes, included a great song he wrote himself.
Near the end of this riveting musicale, he sang and played a moving rendition of "God Bless the USA". Let me tell you, it brought the waterworks to my eyes.
We've said it before, and I'll say it again, freepers are so talented in so many ways.
Billy Joel, move over....Interesting Times is ready for the lights of Broadway!

I've heard rumours that IT sings really, really well - as does his wife - but WHOTCSOTC!
;-)
I know you and Barry stayed home because I was going on this cruise, you missed a great time!

I played in a doomed rock band long ago, and also scratched out a living in a supper club for a while. Carnival was kind enough to let me have their piano bar for an hour or so one afternoon to regale my fellow freepers with a few tunes. For some reason, the little-known Billy Joel song "Roberta" seemed to be a big hit.
Several of us became regulars at the evening piano bar festivities hosted by a Carnival newcomer named Steve. That's also where The Shrew discovered that it isn't really possible to crush a Fosters oil can on your forehead. At least not completely.
