After concerts he is often “wired” for several hours and in the evenings might enjoy going out on the town where it is not too loud or smoke filled. He very much enjoys getting to know people, answering questions, or playing Jewish geography wherever he goes. Time permitting, Sam will stay on hand to autograph CDs and shmooze, often until the last person remains. You may choose to give Sam an index card with a list of those persons/organizations that he should thank at the end of the show. In the case where you prefer a shorter “one act” show please let Sam know the approximate running time of the total set, including encores, so that he can plan the program accordingly. When he’s involving local choirs, he usually brings them up at the end of the set. In this case he typically plays a 50-minute first half, 15 minute intermission and a 40-minute second half.

Make sure that the sound company has the system in place, wired up and plugged in an hour before the concert begins so that Sam can get his volume levels and make any last minute changes. That said, if engineer charges are exorbitant, although it’s a bit less professional, Sam can run the PA if the mixing board is set up at the side of his keyboard and a soundman is present an hour before the show in order to acquaint him with the equipment.
