• A toast to Toby. Frank would be proud.

With nary a Sinatra joke, at least not one that I remember, my friend Toby Germano finished his post wedding dinner, grabbed a mic and joined the jazz duo put together and anchored on bass by the The Mighty Sam Bevan. Now, I will confess, some folks in the audience who know Toby were probably nervous. Would he sing AC/DC, tell a non PC joke, bite the head off of a piece of broccoli (he's a vegan)? Well, I for one was not nervous, because Toby takes family stuff VERY seriously. True to form, he belted a couple of jazz standards to the crowd's delight and astonishment (one person told me afterward, having only heard Toby do RAWK, "I didn't know he could sing like that. What a great voice!" So, cheers to Toby! And a heartfelt thank you to a great friend.
By the way, expect to be hearing Toby on a few of my tunes in the coming months! We should be heading into the studio soon.

Toby sang a great rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon"--he does have a wonderful voice & seems very much at ease while entertaining!
Indeed....Toby sounded great and he worked the room like a pro. For a Vegan, Toby is quite the ham :-)
"For a vegan, Toby is quite the ham"....haha...that made getting out of bed this morning worth the effort!
Glad I could help, Dave!
Thanks, but I'm not a vegan. I once was, but wimped out..........
