I was in attendance at Travis’ concert as part of Howard’s entourage and all I can add to Howard’s review is “Can this Travis sing or what”? And in addition to Travis’ great singing we were treated to a duet with our Jennifer Naimo which was nothing short of sensational, bordering on inspirational. A great evening of song made even more enjoyable by the attendance of so many JB friends.

Thanks, Howard, for the re-cap of such a pleasant evening. Travis certainly has the style of an experienced entertainer, and knows how to please a crowd with varied song selections and a confident stage presence. Memorable songs, smooth vocals, engaging stories and a dynamic back-up band made the time fly by much too quickly. Travis & his wife were so sweet to pose for photos, sign CD’s and visit with fans. It was nice to visit with JB friends again and see so many JB cast members supporting this talented singer.

As a player of a wind instrument in my younger years, I noticed early on the incorporation of Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” into Dan Fogelberg’s “Same Auld Lang Syne”. No doubt it was influenced by Dan’s childhood exposure to his father’s work as the “Leader Of The Band”, which is a great tribute to his father. I was saddened by Dan’s passing last December, and concur with Travis and Howard’s admiration of Dan Fogelberg’s work. The “1812 Overture” part of “Same Auld Land Syne” apparently is lost on many of Dan’s fans, and I’ve had to explain this to many people. Apparently, the inclusion of the “1812 Overture” in the song began as a joke. But it demonstrates how music is music and how it all fits together…
