Opening Night

Rebecca at Tangelo's

Rebecca serenading diners at Tangelo's Grille in Gulfport, FL

I was lucky enough to be here when Rebecca opened last night at Tangelo’s Grille in Gulfport, FL.

Tangelo’s is a long-time downtown St. Petersburg Caribbean eatery that moved a couple months ago to a seaside spot in Gulfport.  It’s owned by our friends, Mike and Lisa Brennan, and they invited Rebecca to perform.  Lisa’s mom, Gloria Abrams, who’s been a Rebecca fan from the very beginning, joined us.

It was quite a set Rebecca put on — from 6:30 until about 8:30, with a couple of short breaks to rest her voice.

The strumming and the singing got a lot of attention, some applause from people passing by on the sidewalk, one cellphone picture snap, and one autograph signing.  Not bad for a night’s work.  It also got Rebecca an invitation to return to Tangelo’s with her guitar next Saturday night, when I unfortunately won’t be here to see it… but maybe you can be.

    How does she do at the long version of Layla? That is a great accomplishment, especially with the musical genes she inherited from you Paul! Mazel tov and may you have many years of joy from Rebecca.

    Wow! As a PCJDS mom who watched Rebecca grow up since 1st grade (who now goes to HS with my son, Jonathan) it is wonderful to see how Rebecca has blossomed. Congratulations to Rebecca!

    When she plays out here, I think it’d be a great JLOP event.
