Joy and Exuberance
As I sit here listening to their performance on my laptop, I'm struck with the performers' joy and exuberance. Too often I see an emotionless performer on stage giving a short bow or nod to the applause of the audience. Do I usually see performers glancing at each other in sheer enjoyment? Not likely!I read the other reviews on this site and noted that one reviewer put them down as being amateurish. Perhaps naive?And don't I love that about them? They're having fun. They're working hard. They're wearing their expressions on their faces ... their hearts on their sleeves, as it were. And isn't that a good thing? Doesn't it touch our hearts?I get tired of hackneyed performers that are on stage solely for the money and could care less about it. Show me the money, they say!I think we'll see this band of performers on larger stages and will look back at this DVD with great appreciation as one of their early works.This is a group that brings joy to the stage and to its listeners. Have fun listening to (and watching) them!Ned Hunened1@aol.com
