The Piano Bar Show with Robert Goldstick is a one-hour performance of songs,
mostly from the 20s, 30s, and 40s, that our elders love, presented with high
energy and professionalism that guarantees all residents and staff will have
a great time. Usually, people start tappin' their feet, clappin' their hands,
and singing along from the very start of the show. |

After performing about 30 shows a month since 1993, Robert has learned what works in every setting and can always provide an entertaining experience. He's performed shows at every type of facility you could imagine, including Rossmoor in Walnut Creek, CA (for about one thousand folks) to small Alzheimer's units (with only 5 or 6 residents). In all situations the show is finely tuned to provide the most entertaining experience possible. In all cases the reactions are similar. * "You brought back the best memories of my life." One of the reasons the show is so universally enjoyed is that Robert takes requests. This is the essence of the Piano Bar experience. He introduces the show with the following - "I call this The Piano Bar Show because it's like the old style piano bar where you could ask the piano player to play anything you'd like. I don't know all of the songs, but I do know most of them, and the ones I don't know, I go home and learn. So, don't bebashful. Ask me for your favorite songs and you'll be surprised how many I know." This invitation brings the audience into the show and allows them to choose what they will hear. Most of the requests are included in the list of Top 100 Favorite Songs, so it's not hard to get at least nine out of ten requests. Another reason the show is greeted with such enthusiasm is that Robert is
a gifted piano player who has played these songs for years. People tell
him he reminds them of Fats Waller, Eddie Duchin and Liberace. Because he's
such a good piano player they even think he sings well. But, it's mostly his
personality and approach to the show and the audience that make the
experience unique and special |
