Mr. Kahane's lyrics were boring as was the repetitive score (much seemed potentially borrowed from song “Ambassador Hotel” ??). Images could have been more illustrative as well. Still, his voice is angelic and his virtuosity on the piano is a transcendent experience.

The evening had memorable moments and the songs themselves had some acute observations, not to mention musical variety, but I felt at the end we had skimmed along and not really achieved much beyond a superficial glance at the itinerants who make up America’s long distance train travelers.
