Has Bernadette ever performed Gee Whiz in her concerts?

This is not what you asked but it's all I know:

she sang "Gee Whiz" on the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on April 1980, Aug. 1980, and April 1982.

Ahha! see this-she sang it in Atlantic City,Trump Plaza, 1990:

I'm guessing that she must have sung it in concert in the early 80s at least. I'm not aware of her performing it for years though.

"Gee Whiz" seemed to be part of her set through the 80s and into 1990 along with "Dedicated to the One I Love." I saw her in Aug. 1990 where it was included but by Mar. 1991 it was gone. "Other Lady" and "Never Thought I'd Break" seem to reappear here and there but I haven't heard of her doing the first two in concert in the last 16 years.

I wonder if she'll have a revamped program since she'll be revisiting some of the same venues she performed in in '05.

Bernadette's repertoire changes *very* slowly--at about the same pace as a 1950s soap opera, i.e. a tad more leisurely than a glacier. Good thing that she picks songs so great that it doesn't matter if you've heard them a few dozen times before.
