What a great concert! Adam is top form again! This concert, with performances of tunes dating back several decades, brought to mind so much of the great music which we seem to be slowly losing as the years go by. Adam's energy, his ability, and his talent are enhanced even more by the stories he tells in every concert about the histories of the songs, the composers, the original sheet music, and the original artists. Great job, Adam!
Wow you filled up a concert to 1940…… another one to make it to 1950 and beyond?
Bing Crosby is one of my personal favorite entertainers, from his movies to his songs, and especially his Christmas songs! Thanks for this glorious concert!
Really wonderful show Adam. The finally was the best. I look forward to your concerts. Thanks again.
Adam, enjoyed all of the Bing Crosby gems! Thank you for performing "With Every Breath I take" ! It is so special!
Beautiful tunes and amazing performance, thanks a lot !
This might be my favorite of your concerts. The combination of Bing in his great, jazz-inflected period, combined with your sensitive interpretations-from sweet to hot-add up to a terrific two hours. The KING OF JAZZ melody was particularly exceptional, and richly deserves CD preservation. Listeners, support Adam Swanson with your tips-it’s the natural thing to do!

Thanks!
Someone asked Adam about his piano preference. For those interested I refer you to the duo 'Eagles & Ivories' who happen to be rag time players. The gent plays a Mason & Hanlin(?) piano. I've neverheard of that company. I have absolutely NO connection to ANYBODY in/on the videos. I found the vids by just klicking around. I'm no piano authority I can say I like the sound of this new to me piano.
Mason and Hamlin is one of the FINEST piano makers in the world. Sadly, they are one of only TWO American piano manufacturers left in business alongside Steinway. If I had room for a grand piano, I would probably want a Steinway or Mason and Hamlin.
@@adamgswansonI'd MAKE room if I had your ability, education & passion. TRUE-guy drove John Deere through house, filled the hole with remodel & addition. Has space for 2 or 3 grands now!
Great concert ! Wonderful playing !!!! Great music ! Good vibe ! Thanks very much !
Great Job, Adam
Thank you Adam!
excellent material some of my faves-thanks !!!
Awesome
Great playing! Wonder how you’d manage with 1930s Polish tangos and foxtrots. Bet you’d be a natural. I’d pay to hear that!
I belong to the Bing Crosby Historical Society.
He is my favorite ever singer. Starting with The Rhythm Boys and Paul Whiteman with help from Mildred Bailey!!!😊
My daughter graduated from Gonzaga. He was born in Tacoma. Grew up in Spokane.
I like the faster songs!
My nephew looks like Sylvester Stalone
Great!
