Pieces I sung at my 2010 Concert

2010 Concert Videos

In 2010, I performed a concert at the Le Petit Trianon in San Jose, CA. Videos of what I sang then are listed below.

This was the last time that I performed because age weakens all muscles, including the vocal chords. I no longer enjoyed hearing myself sing, so it was time to quit singing.

However, the person who was supposed to set up the after-concert party room didn't show up. So I had no choice but to do it myself. All of the rushing around doing that work in a very short time before the concert was very taxing to my voice. A singer should never do this kind of thing before a performance. Sadly, during the concert, several times when singing the very high notes, nothing came out. And I made a few mistakes with some lyrics that I knew by heart. Ultimately, I was not pleased with the quality of my singing that day, which was effectively my Swan Song.

To listen to pieces I sang at my 2000 Concert, simply click on a title below. Please know that these have all been posted to YouTube, and they sometimes insert a commercial before my video begins. I have no control over this maddening situation. However, sometimes there is a "Skip This" icon in the lower-right corner. Hopefully clicking that icon ends the ad and starts my video.
