Shelly and I shared a nice show last night with Marisa.  It's special when you can still share great and meaningful songs by an original artist with your children.  Burton Cummings of The Guess Who sang and played the hits and more in a worthy performance at The Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair. I had not seen him perform in more than a decade -- surprised that was the case when I checked -- and the last time was a solo show.  This time a full band -- Tim Bovaconti and Michael Zweig and on guitars, Jeff Jones on bass, Nick Sinopoli on vocals and percussion and Sean Fitzsimmons on drums -- in addition to Cummings on keys.  This unit certainly replicated and perhaps updated the original sound; compare to these 1973 and 1974 performances on The Midnight Special. Marisa posted a nice pic of the full band to Facebook.  If you can catch them live I am sure you'll find the experience worthwhile.

Check out the set list.  I'd imagine most would recognize more than a few tunes.
