In one evening, you'll hear a catalog of songs you know and loved from the 1960s. Check out this video and enjoy listening to Jeanne and Mariano, a little like Keely Smith and Louis Prima back in the day. It's not just another concert; it's not like anything you've ever seen before. It's like The Hollywood Palace, and a return to the days of real variety shows with new duets, new songs, and old favorites, in arrangements you've never heard before.
