Age
Of The Crooners
Bringing back great memories in the
Age of the Crooners was certainly fulfilled recently with the outstanding
performance of Eddie "My Way" Madaffari along with student and staff members of
the Tri-Valley high school at the Cabaret 2013 held in the upstairs gymnasium at
Tri-Valley Central School.
Now we have to set the stage and note
that a Cabaret concert is performed in a much different style they other
concerts.
During a Cabaret concert is is
perfectly acceptable for you to eat popcorn or other snacks and drinks that were
available for purchase at the Tri-Valley Crooner's Cafe prior to the start of
the show or at intermission.
High school students performing their
talent included the High School Jazz band, Danielle DeVito and Katie Jester,
Maria TerBush, Matthew Weyant, Aidan Woolsey, Kevin Giroux, the Middle School
Jazz band, Bryan Lowe, and Stephen Carleton.
A special guest performance singing
and bringing audience participation to the show was performed by Secondary
School Principal Robert Peters.......great job here.
The audience was greatly rewarded in
keeping with the theme "Age of the Crooners" with songs like Summer Wind,
Witchcraft, The Way You Look Tonight, My Way, I Left My Heart In San Francisco,
You Make Me Feel So Young, Mack The Knife and New York, New York sung by Eddie
"My Way" Madaffari.
Eddie was born in the Little Italy
Section of the Bronx and raised in the Gun Hill Road section. Like all Italian
Americans he grew up with strong family values and great Italian celebrations
that included good food, family and of course music.
He remembers each party filled with
song as all generations harmonized to songs from the 20s to the
50s.
Everyone realized that Eddie's voice
was special and encouraged him to sing. His talents didn't end there and he as
also a great baseball player and led many of his teams to
victory.
Eddie still sings at family and
special event functions and his talented style and voice were a big part of the
success of Cabaret 2013.
The Cabaret 2013 was held under the
direction of school music department staff Kevin Giroux, Matthew Wynant and John
Calabrese.
