I am hoping to see some of the NY Metro-area SDF'ers at this rare opportunity to see and hear the Holland Brothers, discussing their songs and their working relationship, and singing some of those songs, too.
The rest of the lineup ain't too shabby, either.
HW
Oh my if only I were in the Big Apple this weekend shame it isn't October
Sorry we won't see you then.
Those who can make it: look for McKinley Jackson on piano behind the Hollands, too.
HW,
Any chance of this being video recorded and made available? It does have historical significance.......
Mike
I hope I can get out to NY this weekend. Sounds awesome. Regardless, I agree with Mike up there. This should be professionally video recorded!
And, thanks a lot for the post. I would have never known about this otherwise.
checking into it.Quote:

HW,
Is this like a "once in a lifetime" thing, or will something similar with Eddie and Brian happen again? And how did this come about? Also, are they in NY just for this, or is there some other occasion? I bet a lot more people would like to go if they had more notice the next time. [[if there is a next time) Thanks.
This has been a dream of the Lincoln Center event planners for awhile. They asked me to be the moderator, that's about all I know.Quote:

Meanwhile, got to get ready to go - soundcheck, printouts, calm...
Let us know how it went! And if there is video, we'd love to see it.

I may have been too close to the action to be able to assess how it went, but I had a blast sitting next to many magical moments.
A bit of video:

Many thanks to Json Jett for the YouTube postings.
Great.
One hopes they know all the lyrics
If they flub, they can only blame
the writers of the songs
edafan
yes this is a joke
if that was intended as a joke, that's priceless.
There were a few minor flubs. They're human and improvisators.
