Examiner.com: It was a night to celebrate friendship, community, music and life. On a Sunday autumn night, in front of a capacity crowd in a local club in Woodville, Washington, music legends Alan White, the longtime drummer of “Yes” and 3 former members of Seattle’s own“Heart”, along with an army of some of the most talented local musicians in the region, came together and did the thing they love for wonderful cause, music education.

Of course, one of the biggest highlights of the evening was the highly anticipated “Heart Reunion” or shall we say, partial reunion. Founding members, Roger Fisher, Steve Fossen and Mike Derosier rocked Heart classics: “Magic Man”, “Barracuda” and “Crazy on You” . Vocalist Somar Macek, formally of the defunct Heart tribute band “Straight On”, handled Ann Wilson’s vocal parts with professional aplomb, brilliantly channeling Wilson’s passion, style and soul throughout the various Heart numbers.
Seeing these Heart classics played by 3 of the original members of the seminal group, had to whet the appetites of the many Heart fans in attendance. Hopefully, one day the powers that be will be able to reach some type of accord so that Heart fans can be treated to a real reunion with all of the original members. This is truly what Heart fans deserve and it would be good business. Heck, If “The Eagles”can do it and Van Halen can work things out with “Diamond Dave”, certainly ”the suits” can get their act together and give Heart fans what they have been yearning for. Here is hoping that the boys and fans don’t have to wait for the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame to see the pieces of Heart together again.
