TOM JONES "TINY DESK CONCERT"
If you're a fan of singer Tom Jones, NPR Music has a free mini-concert for you to view.
The intimate setting for NPR staffers lacks the glitz of the roaring, female-dominated, panty-throwing crowd, so that's why it's different.
Here's a snippet from the posted story.
Our wing of NPR was packed with employees, friends and family when Jones showed up, everyone craning to get a good look. He took time to have his picture taken, repeatedly, and sign autographs. He was the consummate gentleman and utterly charming. At one point, Bob asked Jones whether he'd ever had an office job before. "No," Jones replied. "It makes me nervous just standing here."

I was proud to see my son, Brian, performing with Tom on this program. He has been Tom's music direcctor for seventeen years.
