Saturday night "Walking in Memphis" piano man Marc Cohn proved, for the 2nd time this year, that he has the chops beyond his one mass appeal hit.A packed house at the Narrows listened intensely to his tunes, sung with a passionate, soulful delivery that apparently made some female admirers nearly swoon. "You made my...life," one woman told your humble blogger after the concert, thanking me for something Marc Cohn did. The benefits of being a Narrows volunteer!
Yes, he did "Walking in Memphis," which sounded fresh and energized. He explained that he wrote the tune after reading an article in which James Taylor explained that he overcomes writer's block by catching a plane and going somewhere he'd never been. A young Marc Cohn took his advice and went to Memphis.
A former backup singer for Marc and local talent, Amy Correia, opened the show, winning new fans.
