You've given us a reason to smile again, Alan. I love the little interpolation in the middle of this song. "Embraceable you"... and that nice bass solo. What a charming arrangement, and a great performance. Bravo!
Thanks a million. Re: Embraceable You, it seemed to make sense. The New York Chimes had a motto printed on their business card -- "All the notes that fit, we sing." Works every time.
Alan - that was fantastic. I loved it! Don't know if you remember me from NCHB (Tim Fagan), but I've missed singing with you for years now! If you make it back down - you've got to bring your 'ax' along! :-) You should get a spot on the show!
Hi, Tim. I remember you most from a discovery you made -- I think it was in Lover Come Back To Me, but I'm not sure -- where if you swipe up 1/2 instead of down as written, we rang a whole other, unexpected chord. We must've sung 4 measures ten times in a row before we stopped being giddy and were able to finish the song. Very cool.
Thanks, darlin', I always appreciate the encouragement. Ya know, I'm getting to like this TubeThing. I can't wait to make up some new duets using this snazzy equipment.
Very nice- I am in awe of that monster you play so well. Also radioboy1000 has crappy speakers cuz I heard your bass run fine on my Macbook. I did a singing version on my little four string a while ago- great song. Loved your version.

Thanks for the kind words and good memories.

"You're sure to find
Happiness, and I guess
All those things you've always pined for"
Dactyl and I (Trochee) are working on a group of shows. Maybe we can work in "La Panda e Immobile" from Rigoletto! Stay tuned.

Quite pleasing!! However, 11 minutes, 5 seconds shy of your allotted 15 minutes of fame. I look forward to you fulfilling on your fame!

I like this. I'm listening with my bad computer speakers but the base run at around 2:40 was hard to hear. Nice hat!
