She really is at a legend status!

I'm looking forward to hearing more about the second book, I think it should be very interesting. If I travel to America one day, I will definitely get a copy of both books.

Thanks for putting up this link

Bernadette sang Nilsson's "My Old Desk"? Wow, that kind of blows my mind.

I'm getting this funny vision of Bernadette scheduling play dates with SJS's dogs!

Good concert last night. Saw a few familiar faces. The weather was beautiful. Much better than her last Phllly Concert n 2000 when it got so cold, Patti had to bring out Bernadette's black suit jacket to wear over her red dress. Here are a few pictures.

Edit: Whoops. Didn't realize the pictures were so big. Sorry.

Did she sing Rose's Turn? I wonder what happened to the beautiful new dresses she wore in Cerritos last week.

Maybe the new dress is strictly a second act dress and so few of her concerts have intermissions. In other words, it doesn't have the matching undergarments to crawl on the piano and do Fever.

No Rose's Turn. It seems that is officially out and Kramer's Song is now her Encore.

But she had TWO new dresses (I think, anyway.) The first act one was new because she commented that it was the "world premiere" and it was white with Swarovski crystals on it, and the second act one was what looked to be a black version of one of the champagne colored ones she often wears.

Thanks for the pictures, too!

Been meaning to post a few more pictures. These are from Kramer's Song when she came out into the audience. I never realized Bernadette doesn't smile much while she is singing as this was the only song where I had her smiling in the pictures I took. You can tell this song (and the boy its named after) are very near and dear to her heart.
