  RCO Live-Performance CD Available !

  A Special Note From Toni...
  
  In early November of this year (2003) Daryl and I performed a benefit concert for the Reno Chamber Orchestra (RCO). The concert was held at the University of Nevada, Reno, at Nightingale Hall, a lovely, intimate 600 seat theatre.
  
  The concert was a fabulous success, and raised much-needed funds for the RCO. Daryl and I arranged to have the concert professionally recorded, with proceeds from sales of the CDs to benefit the RCO.
  
  A recording of the entire concert is now available in a two CD set. In the first CD, I sing many of my favorite songs written by great American composers such as George Gershwin and Johnny Mercer, accompanied by pianist and alto sax player, Matt Catingub, and bassist Hans Halt. Many of the songs I chose were requested by audience members in the weeks before the concert. Some of the songs on the first CD include MAKIN’ WHOOPEE, ZIPADEEDOODAH, SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY, I GOT IT BAD AND THAT AIN’T GOOD, SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME, and FOR ALL WE KNOW.
  
  The second CD begins with four great standards, which were among the special requests I received, including Charlie Chaplin’s SMILE, and George Gershwin’s OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY. Then I introduce the “Special Guest Star” for the evening, Captain of the Keyboards, DARYL DRAGON!!! As usual, all bets are off once Daryl takes the stage! We performed many C&T favorites, including MUSKRAT LOVE, DO THAT TO ME ONE MORE TIME, LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER, and COME IN FROM THE RAIN. We also did a version of BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS, a special request from an audience member. We closed the concert with the song I wrote to close each one of our television shows, WE NEVER REALLY SAY GOODBYE. Some of you may remember that one.
  
  Both CDs include everything heard from the stage that night, including all my talk about the songs, Daryl’s comments, and audience reaction, in addition to the music. It is the ONLY LIVE RECORDING we have ever done. I think you would really enjoy it, and the proceeds from the CD sales go to one of our favorite musical organizations here in northern Nevada, the Reno Chamber Orchestra.
  
  The RCO Benefit Concert two-CD set is available only through the Reno Chamber Orchestra. It is not available in stores. Please call Fifi or Scott at the RCO office at 775 348 9413 for details. Hope you enjoy the concert!!!

It's not punk, but I knew that if we all chimed in eventually you, too, would fess up to your favorite.
