Thread Name: Benefit for Severn: Songs for Severn 21 June 2009
Subject: RE: Benefit for Severn: Songs for Severn 21 June 2
It was a rollicking old time. And Severn, as he says, was in great form. Don't think I've ever heard him sing so much. Admittedly he had a grand backup chorus--Ship's Company and some other performers. Chance and Suzette did two for us. And there some other groups and solos. I think there were 7 acts.
And the whole audience got a chance to belt out a whole bunch of choruses, as well as to buy merchandise including "Death By Accordion" T-shirts. I bought one--think they could have in fact sold more of those--how could we resist when Severn himself was modeling it?
Also I never knew there were three verses to " I do like to be beside the seaside". And great verses they are.
