After SO many years, I finally had the opportunity to see you perform live. And what a fun show it was! Rocky, when you spoke of the memory work and harmonies involved in the Sinatra show I had no idea. Wow! You weren’t kidding! It was such a treat, an ear-tickling joy to hear the complexity of the arrangements and the absolutely stunning 4-part voicing. Every note hit with precision. So much so that several times during the performance I caught myself grinning from ear to ear in sheer delight at the aural yumminess and looking around to see others tickled in the same way.
Rocky, your solos and duets were wonderful. The warmth of your voice, the light of your presence on stage, and your generosity of spirit as part of the greater group – you were terrific! I had so much fun. Thank you! I loved how, as an ensemble, you were all tight and in sync – and as individuals you each owned the stage in turn. Everyone involved in the show – cast, musicians, crew, and musical and stage directors – your combined talents took the show to delightful heights. Bravo! And what a great space in which to perform – quite a gem that Cinnabar Theater. Congratulations too on your sold-out run. Way to do Frank proud!
