We went to see Tanya's concert at Casino Rama
tonight, & it was one of the best I've ever seen
her do! Per ususal she was runnin' on Tucker
Time lol, but was only about 10 mins late coming
out on stage. Of course the band kept the
suspense going by playing 'Trouble' over & over
& looking in the wings, and all of a sudden out
she walked! Dressed in Black with lots of
Diamonds & other bling! She looked beautiful,
and was in fantastic voice .....very strong &
powerful & she didn't miss a note or a beat!
She launched right into 'Some Kind Of Trouble".
I'll post the entire set, but first I'll share a
few things, she was her funny, chatty self as
only TT can be. She absolutely loves coming to
Canada & especially to Casino Rama..they treat
their entertainers exceptionally well she
said...so hope that means I can expect many
return trips up here!
It was a sold out show, and I expect tonight
will be as well. Tanya talked quite a bit about
'My Turn' & how great the folks at Time-Life
have treated her...says new material is coming
soon! Also talked a lot about her kids & how
they are all talented, but doesn't know if any
of them will use their talent....more or less
meant it was hard for them being in her
shadow...and none of them want to be a 'junior'.
Tanya was swamped with people wanting autographs
& things signed after the show, and she very
graciously stayed out there for quite a while &
signed a lot of stuff, before exiting the stage.
If there was a M & G, it could have been before
the show started, and if so I missed it, I
couldn't stay for long after the show, as
it's about a 2 hr drive from where I am, and I
wasn't the driver (or I'd have stuck around)! I
did get a few pics, but cameras aren't allowed &
it was tricky, lol....if they turn out I'll post
them. (They didn't as it turns out, at least not
good enough to post here, they don't do Tanya
justice). |
