Serenades of Life - Doctor's in Concert

The Smith Center in Las Vegas

On Saturday, October 27, 2012 the Nathan Adelson Hospice Center put on their 18th annual "Serenades of Life - Doctor's in Concert" event. This event is a fund raiser to help support the hospice foundation. The event was held at the beautiful Smith Center in the heart of Las Vegas.

Alter'd Ego - A Band made up of doctors? YUP!

This is a unique event where Doctors, Surgeons, from many fields perform for this event each year. Some of the doctors sang, others performed in a rock band, a jazz quartet, opera and even a violinist. Much of the talent was very good. You don't tend to think of your Doctor as having musical talent but they did. 

Brad Garrett from 'Everybody Loves Raymond' was given the first 'Brad Garrett Humanitarian Award'. This award will be given to different recipients in the coming years. This was given to Brad for all the work he has done with the hospice center.

Clint Holmes performed, and then the various doctors were singing and playing their songs. After the doctors performed, Chris Mann, who came in 4th on the 2nd season of "The Voice" sang a few numbers and then Sheena Easton closed the show.

Our show was a scaled down version of our regular show. Usually our shows are about 90 minutes but because of the many different artist our show was scaled down to 25 minutes. Sheena said it's the shortest show she's ever done.

The show went well, Sheena and I only performed one of our duets, "We've Got Tonight" instead of the usual 3 that we do in the show. The Venue was fantastic, it sounded great and as always we had a lot of fun.

The Vdara

Rebecca and I drove down to Vegas on Friday and stayed at the Vdara Hotel. Very nice! For Rebecca and I it was a mini-vacation with a 25 minute show.



 A unique event, a great venue and a nice hotel. We were very happy to be part of the Serenades Of Life-Doctor's in Concert event.
