Lisa Denton and Barry Courter
BARRY COURTER: Lisa, I hope you’re in the mood to get out and do something, especially now that it looks like the rainy season is behind us. There is so much to do this week, especially if you like theater, live music or comedy.
LISA DENTON: Well, yes, all of the above. I was just about to mention that I’m ready to head to Chicago on Tuesday. Don’t get your hopes up that it’s an extended stay in the Windy City. Nope, Tuesday is when the band Chicago plays at Memorial Auditorium. I’ve been singing their songs all week: “Hard to Say I’m Sorry,” “If You Leave Me Now,” “25 or 6 to 4,” “Saturday in the Park,” “Baby What a Big Surprise.”
BARRY: “Colour My World.” Only song I can play on the piano. On the guitar, it’s “My Dog Has Fleas …. and Ticks.”
LISA: I can only play “Peanut Butter,” a 1961 song by The Marathons, on the piano, but don’t get me started on kazoo. That hit parade could last awhile.
When I’m back from Chicago, I can head to Abbey Road. Again, not a trip to London. The Beatles’ “Abbey Road” is one of two albums Black Jacket Symphony will be presenting Friday at the Tivoli Theatre. The other is “Who’s Next” by the Who. I don’t know whether Who’s on first, but either way they present it, it should be a great show.
