DESCRIPTION:
In digitizing my old VHS home tapes, I came across this gem of Michael Feinstein performing in Chicago in the early 1990s. I'm surprised I hadn't worn it out with all the times I viewed it. I want my four year old son to be able to watch and study it now and in the future, as he has already shown some promise at the piano and a love of good tunes. These two songs are great, and deserve to be in the public view. Mr. Feinstein truly enjoys what he does, and is a role model to young piano students and singers. I love his sheer joy in singing I Love a Piano, and his rendition of Whatever Happened to Melody is hauntingly beautiful, and his emphasis on the last three words makes the song. Brilliant songwriting and a brilliant performance. I'm not sure, though, at what point the audience walked out. Maybe Michael Jordan and the Bulls were in town that night...
