"I'm a Bagel on a Plate Full of Onion Rolls"

Last night, I attended a great benefit for Season of Concern at Davenport's - - Bab Fab 2: The Barbra Streisand Birthday Celebration.

This cabaret revue of Streisand's music was wonderful simply because of the incredible singers in the cast, but when they perform Barbra's songs on Barbra's birthday...

Well, "It's like buttah."

Rob Dorn at Three Cat Productions did an amazing job creating this show and the room was packed. 

Where else are you going to find a show featuring four men singing barber shop quartet harmony on an Eric Lane Barnes arrangement of Streisand songs? Only at Davenport's in Bab Fab, baby.

And yes, you're right. It was a "Barbra Shop Quartet." That was hilarious, Rob Dorn. Hilarious!

All of the singers were sensational...

...John Eskola blew the roof off singing "A Piece of Sky," Laura Freeman killed with her "Miss Marmelstein" and Amy Cole, as always, was jazz perfection as she sang "The Way He Makes Me Feel"...

...but my personal favorite was my friend Robert Whorton. 

Robert has an ease, a suave style and a voice that I could listen to all day and night. His phrasing, his placement and again, his ease with the music and the lyric are second to none in this town. Luckily, someone took this video of Robert singing the early Streisand hit "When the Sun Comes Out" so I can listen to him over and over...

Thanks to Rob and everyone involved with last night's show for your generosity and hard work on behalf of Season of Concern.
