A Hectic 2 Weeks
I’ve been so busy with all my entertainment events that I haven’t had time to let you know what you’ve been missing. I think I’ll work backwards staring with last night. Spending Sunday night at the Suncoast showroom thoroughly enjoying Bill Fayne’s wonderful production of “Rogers and Hart and Hammerstein too!” What great talent Bill put together. No one writes lyrics like that anymore. What a shame. Bill, take that show to the SmithCenter, you’ve got my support.
Saturday night we were at the SmithCenter to see La Cage. What an enjoyable and delightful evening.
Friday night, which I still can remember, started with Frankie Moreno rockin out the place. He never ceases to amaze me. The horns, the strings, the rhythm section and of course the new addition “The Dancer”. Spend the couple of bucks and head to the Stratosphere to catch his show. Well the night wasn’t over yet. Actually it was just getting started. David Perrico was burning down the Palms with his 18 piece band featuring Naomi Mauro on vocals. The band consisted of so many top name players that if I started to mention them all, the next time he played there, you’d have to get tickets days in advance. Plus I know I’d forget someone. Don’t miss him the next time he plays anywhere.
Thursday of course was my “Jazz in Summerlin” series at the Blue Fire. Wednesday was Rosanna Telford “The Latin Song Bird” also at the Blue Fire Supper Club. And Tuesday was Skip Martin and Friends, guess where, at the Blue Fire. Something must be happening at the Blue Fire. Stay tuned to my blog/calendar and facebook, to find out what’s going on there. Monday was Diana Krall at the SmithCenter. Sunday dinner at a friends. Saturday was a smashing 50th wedding anniversary party at Bali Hi Country Club with entertainment by Kelly Clinton, Ronnie Rose and a kick ass band. Friday was Rob Garrett’s Neil Diamond tribute show. (Terrific). Then Thursday, Wednesday and Tuesday, my events at the Blue Fire. Wow, I did all that and played some golf in-between.
Well, I’m not going to spell check or highlight anything, just post it. And by the way, a new look is coming to my blog. When it hits, you’ll know.

The Composers Showcase
Join us for a special Composers Showcase on August 8. We will sadly be saying farewell to many of our talented friends at Phantom: the Las Vegas Spectacular, who have been such a staple and core of our showcase for the last six years. This will be the last Composers Showcase before the scheduled closing of Phantom on September 2nd! The Showcase will go on, but we will miss this extraordinarily gifted group of artists!
