BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS I HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR..

HOW COULD THIS GUY ESCAPE A WORLD CLASS

ENTERTAINMENT WRITER LIKE ME....FOR 74 YEARS ?

ANYWAY......PRESTON....FORMER MEMBER OF THE 

LETTERMEN AND ONE OF THE MOST ACTIVE SINGERS

GOING MADE A COUPLE OF QUICK STOPS IN SOUTHERN

NEVADA AND I CAUGHT HIM TWICE...

HE IS BACK IN NEVADA AUGUST 28 AT THE STARBRIGHT
THEATRE....SAID HE HAS BEEN ON 98 CRUISES...I WISH
I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ALL OF THEM !

SATURDAY PAST.... AT THE CASABLANCA SHOWROOM

IN MESQUITE.....FIRST TIME FOR THIS REPORTER THERE...

NICE THEATRE....GOOD PRODUCTION....GOOD SOUND..

AND A SUPER ENTERTAINER....WHO SANG....TOLD

JOKES AND EXUDED A GREAT FAMILIARITY WITH THE

STAGE.....IF EVER ANYONE WAS COMFORTABLE ON THE

STAGE THIS WAS THE GUY....AND HE COULD SING...

SO.......... COULD THEY COULD HAVE LEFT  THE
TOO LOUD DRUMMER AND
FOUR HORN PLAYERS HOME....I CAME FOR THE VOICE AND
I GOT IT.

LOTS OF STANDARDS....7 PIECES....EVERYONE LOVED HIM !

ESPECIALLY ME...

NICE TO TRAVEL TO MESQUITE...60 MINUTES FROM THE

SPAGHETI BOWL TO THE CASABLANCA....WE RUSHED !
