a friend, for all practical purposes,single-handedly staged a production of "Little Me" when they were at SLUH. Brian also performed around town with his guitar. He did not want any of his family members to be in the audience. He could sing to perfect strangers, but not to his own family.
There was a time when he was the main (and only) performer at Dohacks, a restaurant. It was
during a time when Dohacks had an out-door seating area. Brian and his guitar would sit in
the out-door area and entertain South County diners.
When my sister found out about this situation, she took matters in hand and made it her cause to, so to speak, catch him in the act. One Saturday night, she parked in the farthest point in the
Dohacks parking lot. Then she slipped around to the back of the patio area. A privacy fence allowed her to sit right behind where Brian would be singing. She waited there until he began
and stayed for his entire set. She gave him an affirmative review, but permission to see him perform solo was still not allowed.
The first time I heard him sing professionally was in the movie "Follow That Bird." I've heard him sing live with others at my wedding and at my sister's wedding, and with his kids. But as of yet, I still haven't heard a live, solo, performance.
