I've been a fan ever since.

oh my god i would have LOVED to see a show like that !!! some of my favorite cds are the concert ones where he's just singing and playing the piano and telling stories in between songs.
i suspect he can't do shows like that anymore, because he's too big a star ; they work best in small places. i bet he wishes he could though, which is why he does a portion of the show at the piano with just the contre-bassiste.
so where did you see him ?? tell us all about the show !!! i want to bask in the vicarious bliss.
