Won't be long before I have no choice but for the computer guy to come by. I can't see or hear it from work due to Barracuda. At home, I can see but not hear it. Who are the other [shorter] woman and the man who joined Isabelle onstage? So, you co-opted Makor, despite their own policies, eh, Thelma

? Good on you...

We don't know who the others were. Ask Zachary. Try to find a computer where you get the audio or it won't make any sense.

Dick~
Thanks for the great report.

Lightning~THANK YOU for the video! I am sort of shocked speechless at the moment. I've only had time to listen to The Guests. It is the next best thing to having Leonard and Jennifer Warnes standing up there. Isabelle's voice is so beautiful and perfectly matched with Zachary's. Not to take anything away from him. He is superb.
Field Commander Cohen was my first cd of Leonard's, and The Guests was one of my faves. It was so lovely to hear it being covered with the same intensity and beauty as what I first heard those 5 or so years ago.
I'll watch the rest very soon. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to capure this and share.

That looks like a great show. I knew those who attended would have a wonderful time. He was amazing at both the New York and the Berlin events, so this had to be great. Thanks for posting the video. I enjoyed watching very much.

Video looking good Thelma. Thanks. Hope everybody makes some time to watch.

Linda also uploaded twelve photos of Zack, Isabelle, Esther,Thelma, and Ken and Suzanne to photobucket. See

As discussed at Makor, "Athletes of Romance" ordered from cd baby and on its way to Esther in Miami. Thanks again for great performance Zack!

I'll see your photos from home, Dick and Linda... Barracuda won't get out of my way.

Those are great pictures, Dick. I look so intent on what I'm doing I neglected my wine glass. That's because I'm an amateur. It still seems like a miracle to me that we can allow the whole world to see this concert at home in pajamas in front of a computer.

Can't agree more Lighting -- The videos are spectacular. Thanks so much for your efforts.

Lightning~

So glad to see you DID have a tripod! I saw the times on those film lengths and wondered...Thanks again for your efforts.

The little tripod wasn't exactly stable and sometimes it faltered but it was better than none at all.

I would have happily left my pyjamas (and my house, and my family, and even my Christmas tree) to see this; but since that wasn't possible, this is the next best thing. I really like it (and it's made even better by the memory of the Berlin performance), thank you for making it available to us all.

It's far from a perfect offering but there's crack in everything and maybe the occasional shakiness jolts people into attention. Glad you enjoyed it. I did too and wasn't at Berlin but saw him in NYC. He was lizzytysh's favorite.

He was lizzytysh's favorite.

Yes

. This is true

Having mentor or not, Zack also comes by his humility very honestly

I've just watched the whole show.

Amazing concert. I wish I could have been there to see you again Zack. I love how you combined the older and newer versions of some of the songs. Brilliant!

Thank you to Thelma, Dick and all others concerned who helped with this event and filmed it. Now I need to figure out how to get it onto a disc so I can watch it on a bigger screen

Well done!
