DECORATION DAY: To the folks like me with graves to decorate may this be a day of peace and quiet reflection, as well as lots of food.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: Johnny Mathis reportedly had this comment at one of the Buffalo concerts recently:
"I learned the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra is turning 60. It's nice to know someone else is turning 60."
TONYS: The Tony Awards are next Sunday, and as much as I'd like to report anything with a Mathis connection here, don't have anything!
ON WITH THE SHOW: Pollstar shows a NEW DATE scheduled for October 19th and 20th for Las Vegas, Nevada at the Las Vegas Hilton. I didn't see any tickets on sale yet.
Tickets are on sale for the Nashville Symphony concert in Antioch, Tennessee (June 14). There is an 8-ticket limit with strict enforcement, which is good, as 8 should certainly be plenty for anyone!
Tickets are on sale for the shows at the Silver Legacy Casino in Reno, Nevada. Prices are $50, $44, and $30; call (800) 687-8733 for details or use the online form.
Mathis returns to the Westbury Music Fair on July 20th & 21st. Tickets are on sale NOW online via Ticketmaster for these new dates.
Tickets are now on sale for the shows in Hyannis, Massachusetts, at the Cape Cod Melody Tent on Saturday, August 4 and Sunday, August 5. New Englanders can still buy tickets for the North Shore Music Theatre concert in Beverly, Massachusetts, north and east of Boston near Salem, on Wednesday, August 15 and Thursday, August 16.
Tickets for the concert in Saratoga, California (a suburb of San Jose) on Thursday, August 30th are on sale now. Since it's on a Thursday night, it's probably not a good gig for out-of-towners unless one no longer works for a living. There is a ticket limit (6) and prices are from $65-$100.
Don't know yet if tickets can be bought now for the Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut (don't ask where that is) on October 5th and 6th.
NEW CONCERT DATE FOR 2002! Ticketmaster shows a date for Jones Hall, Houston, Texas, on Thursday, February 7, 2002. Obviously tickets are not on sale yet, but I think the fact that he has started booking next year's shows is WONDERFUL. Is Johnny Mathis not amazing? Soon to be 66 years old and still very much in demand!
Sorry, still no Canadian or other foreign dates that I can see. I think I'd find some way to let Mathis know you guys want to hear him sing, too. In the meantime, if you live in North America and you've never seen Johnny Mathis in concert, what are you waiting for??
