The Return of Dr. Bob with Tales from The Secret Opera!

Bob Marsh and David Michalak perform excerpts from their Secret Opera
“...some say it was the hypnotizing eyes of Aleyesha that made Grum lose his words and left him doomed to vocalize his opera to a crumbling empty house….others say it was stage fright”
Grum (an opera singer) ~ Bob Marsh ~ voice, dance
David Michalak ~ opera images, lap steel, skatchbox, electric harp
Kersti Abrams – alto saxophone, mbira, Cindy Webster - singing saw, Hurdy Gurdy

Bryan Day opens the evening with an electro-acoustic piece featuring his newer instruments, including the Dirtie Gertie - a rubber band instrument played with an oversized extension spring, and a midi-controlled Rotary Xylophone, played with a chain of wooden beads.
presented by Dr. Bob ~ Let us sing and dance in these Dark Times!
