Since moving to central Florida in 2016, Jon has begun performing, mostly at area retirement homes. His performances focus on songs from the Great American Songbook, the popular music from the first half of the 20th century. The beautiful melodies and witty lyrics by such great writers as Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, the Gershwins, Rodgers & Hart, Johnny Mercer, etc. are the songs that the senior residents heard during their childhood years.
These enduring classic tunes are the perfect match for an audience of seniors. Jon frequently hears comments such as:
Those songs take me back to when I met my husband
I remember this music from when I was in college
Your voice is really rich and soothing
They don’t write music like this anymore
When will you be back to play again?
