Hong Kong concert report from Mike Church:
The show in Hong Kong last night was wonderful. Connie did an amazing job. She diligently spent the entire rehearsal period going over both new and old songs in the show. She added “Never On Sunday,” “Follow The Boys,” “When The Boy In Your Arms,” “High Noon,” “Second Hand Love,” and a few others. She had a new arrangement of “Hava Nagila.” She did a full 90 minute set, and received an standing ovation at the end of her show. I will have pics forthcoming, when I return home.
A short message received from a fan:
“Connie’s HK concert was fabulous. Her best in years as it was put!!!”
