After the autograph line was through, we all took our perches again to hear the wonderment of Vincent's voice. He sang three songs with his accompanist. His first song was 'Beyond the Sea' by Bobby Darin. This was a light, fun song to open with. The next song was from the musical 'On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.' This was more of a slow ballad. And for the finale was 'O Sole Mia.' Now I had heard him sing this twice in Long Island, but I enjoyed this performance more. He seemed to have more heart behind this rendition.
Vincent singing the second song. I loved how he peered out centrally focused and seemed to feel the music through his body.
After Vincent was done singing, our wonderful tea came to a close. Raffle prizes were drawn, and the silent auction ended. The 2 final auction prizes were: A picture with Vincent in Soaps In Depth that went for $100, and A lunch with Vincent for 2 people that wound up going to 2 winners each for $600. This all went to charity for HFNY. Whoever the winners were, we expect details.
And Finally the reception line for photos with Vincent. Thank you to Vincent for his time and dedication. We know that his family probably missed him and thank them also for sharing him.
When I think back to the Q&A session, I can't help but think about how he seemed so at ease up on the stage, joking with us. Whether it is attributed to the fact that he is an actor or not, I do think he genuinely appreciated us all being there, and hope he comes to understand how his power has brought so many wonderful women together in friendship.
