Light of Day - Count Basie Theatre Red Bank, NJ 3/12/2022

  The Light of Day concert series returned to in person performances this week with a series of shows which featured new and established performers. 

   The main event is titled Bob's Birthday Bash, in honor of Bob Benjamin who suffers from Parkinson's Disease. All proceeds from the concerts goes to research for Parkinson's Disease and ALS. The main event had been held at The Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park for the last decade plus, but was moved to Red Bank since the Paramount is not able to host any events for the foreseeable future.

   This years event had many of the artists who have been performing for years return for this live in person performance.

   Here are the performers and their setlists. Any title I am unsure of, and there are many,  is followed with a ?.

In Memoriam - Sidney Poitier


                   

       More than a legend, an icon. A pioneer.

       In the 90's, my wife and I were exiting Carnegie Hall after seeing a concert, and we saw Mr. Poitier walking down the stairs. He looked like royalty. He was royalty. As I got outside I had lost my wife. A few moments later she is walking out with Mr. Potier holding her arm. I walked over and all I could say was "I love you". He nodded his head and thanked me. He made this incredibly awkward person feel cool and calm. I don't doubt that his whole life was filled with moments that his fans, admirers and anyone who was able to share a space with him can looks back and treasure.

     When God made you, he broke the mold.  Rest in Peace.

                        Rest in Peace.

Happy 2022
