Fresh off his tour de force performance at last month's La Buena Bola awards banquet, Ron Wollard announced that LCCC has signed our very own Mike Bowers to a three-month contract to provide entertainment each Friday night in the Main Ballroom.Performing under his stage name of "The Baritone Barrister" (a nod toward his day job as partner at the law firm of Bell Nunnally & Martin LLP), Bowers is shown astride the club's baby grand piano belting out a spirited rendition of his own original composition, "There Ain't But One 'B' in 'Ribbon'".
In a flourish of showmanship that evoked comparisons to Fred Astaire, Bowers then leaped off the piano and executed a perfect slide down the bannister into the dining room, landing on a table, scattering a floral arrangement, and coming to rest on Heather Huffman's lap, where he remained for 30 minutes while her concerned husband finished his dinner.
In addition to his covers of classic American standards, Bowers will perform a number of his original legal-themed compositions, including "Three Torts in The Fountain", "I Left My Briefs in San Francisco", "Call Me Irresponsible (and I'll Sue Your Ass)", and "That's No Paralegal-That's My Wife!". Opening for Bowers will be the Friedken Brothers, whose musical stylings can be seen in the following video.
Seating will be limited, so Ron recommends you get there early, try the veal, tip your waitresses, and drive home safely.
