Entertainment? Did you say entertainment? Master Professor Birch........Live at the SPRC. MPB will be singing his greatest hits of all time. You think he's hot when he sings Shania Twain? You ain't seen or heard nothing yet. His version of Celine Dion's "My heart will go on" will put tears in your eyes. Oh, then there's the smash hit "I will always love you". He sings it with such passion. All these great songs, plus more. And don't forget, his tight leather pants and open shirt. And finally, picture this.........MPB with "Tom Jones" type curly hair. Did I say tears? Tears of laughter. All the ladies yelling YOU GO BOY, GO.
