About This:
Recorded Live at the Sanchez Performing Arts Center in Pacifica, California, the surprise presence of Lynne & Mike's children and other, beloved family members in the audience lent an extra special feeling to this wide-ranging concert. Dedicated to the travails and triumphs of little girls and big girls "and the men they oppress," this two disk performance transcends gender and place and time as it celebrates the triumph of love itself, with a lot of laughs and not a few tears, This is an album about what we used to be ("Que Sera Sera"/"A Child is Born") what we grow to be ("At Seventeen") and what we have left behind ("Sing a Rainbow"/"The Colors of My Life." Lynne and Mike do their irrepressible thing in "They Can't Take That Away From Me, replete with wise cracks and a bit of scat. Lynne returns to her folk roots with a yearning "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow." And the duo reflect upon the simmering dangers of marriage("Don't Marry Me") and the serendipity of meeting in the first place, despite no odds at all ("Ring Them Bells"). Featuring the delicious main course of Lynne's double tuned tribute to Nina Simone and topped off by a guest performance at the piano by the duo's gifted friend, Bliss Rodriquez at the piano, accompanying Mike's "Mam'selle," This is yet another unforgettable evening spent with people who love to sing and to play the greatest songs ever written, even if occasionally with tongue in cheek. Rest assured, Lynne and Mike are always in touch with their hearts.
