Concert review: Laura Ainsworth and Michael Gott - Cole Porter: Elegance and Decadence at McDavid Studio (May 30 late show)
Thanks for the review, Mike. I thought the venue was beautiful and on that sound system, Laura and Michael sounded the best I've ever heard them. I'd like to mention, though, that while Michael is great on ballads and Laura is hilarious on comedy numbers, they also switch out quite effectively. Michael's religion-based parody of "Let's Do It" brought the house down, and Laura's version of "Love For Sale" could rip your heart out. I don't know how she glides down to the looooow notes in that after hitting the operatic soprano notes in the opening of "Delovely." It's just such a treat in these days of "American Idol"-glorified mediocrity to hear two really great singers blending so well on such brilliant songs.

Favoriting contest: Cole Porter: Elegance & Decadence
Mike, you have a typo in your blog entry. The performer's name is Michael Gott. He has 7 or 8 independent albums out and is really terrific. Don't know who John Gott is. Maybe you were thinking of John Gotti. Michael is much more enjoyable to listen to and as far as I know has never whacked anyone.
