what an intimate evening with someone that I would not have been exposed to without the radio coverage ... thanks for the invitation ... have always had a soft spot in my heart for the venue but now even much more
Loved the show, hope you have Sam back. What a great songwriter--his lyrics are amazing. My first time to the Folly, a wonderful place for sure--definitely need to keep this place alive and well. Thanks,
By far one of the best concerts we have seen in a long time. The Folly is a wonderful venue with outstanding accoustics. One can actually understand the lyrics and the narration. We had a wonderful time. Sam Bakers lyrics and his delivery make one think, cry and laugh - an emotional journey and in the end you just want more and more. Thank You, Bill Shapiro, for making this possible and for introducing Sam Baker's music to your radio show audience.
This minimum number of words is unnecessary. I can say everything that needs to be said in one word: SUBLIME
Sam Baker is a very emotional writer and singer. I'd see him again.
Fantastic performance in a wonderful venue. The Folly is under-appreciated. The acoustics are amazing. The intimate setting makes the music much more meaningful. You feel like you're listening to music in your living room surrounded by people who enjoying the event as much as you are. Sam talks between songs and interacts with the audience in an amusing, friendly way.
It was an intimate affair. Sam comes out and immediately asks for the lights to be turned up just a little bit, so he can see who he is entertaining. And what a great night of entertainment it was. Baker is a great lyricist and writes about what he has experienced. His life has been rich, tragic and lucky, so he writes about beauty, sadness and thankfulness. A great evening.
Show was excellent! Mr. Baker was a very entertaining and endearing speaker besides performing some wonderful songs.
Sam is talented, interesting, loving, and very funny!
