What a night!

Was able to see a performance
By one of my favorites -
Engelbert Humperdinck

That day, a two hour drive
Destination - Wendover, Nevada

Soon tickets in hand,
assigned seating -
Section G Row 8 Seats 5 and 6
Cannot Wait!

Engelbert did not fail
What a show!
Such a wonderful night

Singing many of his hits,
Reminiscing with the audience
His Las Vegas life

Engelbert, a young 82
With many years still ahead
Living life to its fullest

Performance over too soon
Only a poem to remember the night

He was a tremendous singer in his time. 'There goes my reason for living'.

I used to like Engelbert Humperdinck's songs too, although I never saw him in concert. He is amazing for his age, when many other pop stars have faded away.
