Popular singers/songwriters Christine Lavin and Don White gave superb performances Saturday, May 14th, in the Smyrna American Legion Music Hall. With a repertoire covering everything from poignant father-daughter songs to laugh-out-loud songs about the sacrifices of dating and airplane encounters with strangers, and an impromptu moment of Wheel-of-Fortune with the audience, it's hard to know if Christine and Don are singers/songwriters, comedians or game show hosts...Lavin even twirls a mean baton...but, then, why can't they be all three (and athletes too)? Wearing skull-and-crossbones-studded pants, toting a guitar and a wide smile, Christine immediately engaged the audience with her humorous song set, her energy and enthusiasm (seriously, a baton!) and her off-the-cuff commentary throughout the night.
Don spoke for all parents when he described the time he caught his kids imitating him dancing ("Let's do the Dad!"), but the audience may have been surprised to find moments for tears too, when he switched the pace to sing a touching song about loving a daughter. The two performers have performed across the country, sharing their unique and refreshing worldview of topics that are universally experienced. The concert was part of the Jonquil City Sessions, the Smyrna Arts and Cultural Council's acoustic concert series.
