at, maybe it wasn’t. Here’s why: after the show, I had the chance to speak briefly with Robin’s son. I thanked him for the performance and said, “I guess we were so fortunate to see your father perform solo, it will be back to Cheap Trick, soon.” His reply was, “My father is having so much fun, we are thinking of doing this every year as it is a good way for the family to be together and to sing together.” For more information on Robin, visit: www.cheaptrick.com and www.robinzanderband.com. Cheap Trick will be on tour this year through summer and I am sure into 2015. David Fiorenza teaches Economics of Art & Entertainment at Villanova University.
