Lorb Lorbson sings “Rain Stain” at the legendary Cherinpintera

Any performance by the one and only Lorb Lorbson is a treasure, and here is one that is a gem of rare beauty!  Thought to be lost or intentionally destroyed, this video was found by Ron Cranstence, who was there that magical evening at the legendary Cheripintera so many years ago.  If you have a pair of head phones, try listening carefully for Lorb’s  flawless pitch and articulation.  With care its also possible to actually hear the  maitrde’s announcements which leaked onto the audio portion of the tape.  Also, you may be able to spot Ron Cranstence who was working as the sound man that night.  Lorb loved performing  at the Chairpintera.  He would have one of the famous Cheripintera spinach salads and then take over the stage!  Enjoy!

    So great to actually have an actual video of this song. Always enjoyed the audio version, although I never actually noticed the maitre d’ before. Now I’m wondering, with hope against hope, that there may be a video of “Slide Projection Screen” located somewhere in the archives.

    Thanks for sharing. I was a big Lorb fan back in the late 90’s. Last time I saw him perform was at a fundraiser at the Beef ‘N Beer in Butternuts, NY for my friend’s soccer league. Good to see that he’s still rocking the house!

    What a joy to hear from Bret! We spent many nights together, once upon a time. We spoke little but shared much. And to think, that was when I was just fourteen years old and Bret, at the time, weighed close to six hundred pounds! Oh. the memories come flooding back like the tears now pouring from my eyes. Let’s get together, Bret,

    It’s so hard to find a nightclub singer who can still bring tears to one’s eyes. Lorb, you’ve restored my faith in the American dream…
