No, there is still a hard to find heading called Artie which
I marked before sending it off.

That´s great news for Art Cher. Seems he is well on the road to a complete recovery.

I went to Art´s "come-back show" in Raleigh. He opened the show with "Texas Girl At The Funeral Of Her Father," a particularly poignant choice for me. In retrospect, it should have been the obvious choice: "Here I am...." The show was sort of "good news-bad news." The good news is that Art is back.The bad news is that he´s clearly not 100%.... Maybe 90%.... His upper register sounds a bit weak and a little hoarse but overall better than I expected. His lower range sounds stronger than ever. He has re-arranged "Bridge" so that it´s more similar to his performance on the Larry King Show in 2001: no soaring crescendo for the finale. The problem is that on some of the quieter songs, it´s like there´s still a "hole" in his range. There are some notes that are just not there. His voice catches and...nothing. That happened maybe four times last night (I think mainly on "Side Of A Hill" and "Kathy´s Song") and I hope he´s not terribly disappointed. Tab Lavin and Cliff Carter are adding harmony vocals on some of the songs, like "The Boxer." Their singing makes it sound a lot more like Simon & Garfunkel, actually. Overall, it was a great show and I´m glad I made the trip.

No drummer or second keyboard. Here´s the set list:
01. Texas Girl
02. The Boxer
03. A Perfect Moment
04. Mrs Robinson
05. Real Emotional Girl
06. El Condor Pasa
07. For Emily
08. Young And Free
09. Scarborough Fair
10. The Side Of A Hill
11. Bridge Over Troubled Water
12. Kathy´s Song
13. Sounds Of Silence
14. Goodnight My Love/Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Cliff Carter: Piano, synthesizer, backing vocals
Tab Lavin: Acoustic guitar, backing vocals
North Carolina Symphony Orchestra: All other instruments
