RONAN TYNAN


Say that real fast with marbles in your mouth!

Last night I went with the two bookends, Toots #1 (The Little Woman) aka: TLW and Toots #2, (Lois) to a Ronan Tynan concert in the beautifully refurbished and restored Patchogue Theatre. It was a memorable concert, with every rendition and arrangement sounding special, as his melodic and seasoned tenor voice, reached the balcony of the theatre, and beyond.

I think his best was the Italian; “La Donna e’ Mobile”, a special arrangement created by one of his band members. Speaking of which, each and every one of them was great. In particular was the young drummer, who carried a certain youthful vitality to all the arrangements.

As far as the ladies go, it was a quiet evening while this well orchestrated emolument of musical beauty occurred. It was night to remember, two quiet ladies, a masterful presentation of both instrumentation and song, and the architectural beauty of and restoration of days long gone.

Would you like to orchestrate an ending to this cacophony and free yourself of visual pain and faulty imagery? Write to: joedelbroccolo@yahoo.com, tell him: “Why didn’t you jump off the balcony?” The first ten who do will receive a copy of the fine print from my life insurance policy, FREE OF CHARGE! A kind of “My gift to you.”

Thank you for your report of Ronan's concert in Patchoque, NY.
I have never heard him sing La Donna e Mobile, I hope he sings it my next concert with him this Friday in Concord NH. I wonder who did the arrangement?

Ronan and his band put on a great show. His shows are never a duplicate of each other. He is a walking and singing surprise. Thanks for the photo too, do you have any more?
