What a wonderful surprise to see and hear Elex here! A super guy with a super voice

[moorewjr]

it makes sense that Huck is nasaly. He is only supposed to be 15 years old.

Big River won the Tony award for best musical in 1985. Pretty good for an old country-western boy like Roger Miller.

Saw Roger 40 years ago at the Sarah Hotel. He introduced me to his mother who was wearing a white evening gown.

I wonder why some of these songs haven't been included by some c-w singers. The song "If you Think it's Lonely Where you are Tonight" is a real heart breaker.

Elex it is always good to hear you sing....as you used to sing when we were kids.."I'LL Chose You Agan" See Holy Temple does breed GREAT things" Go Elex.

I can't stop singing this song. It's so riveting. Its message is so profound, yet it's a wonderfully simple song put to an outstanding melody.

The harmonies are great.

I've never heard a cast, besides the OBC, do those high notes on the last "together, but worlds apart" so effortlessly. Sometimes the notes come out right, but you can tell it took effort, and sometimes they just fail all-together, and sometimes they do an easier harmony. But these two did it so perfectly, it was unbelieveable!

When I performed this song for my acting auditions I nearly cried...the relationship between Jim and Huck are as unique as they get on stage..thank you for posting one of my favorite songs ever...

[FedoraExplorer]

Their voices blend very well in my opinion. And by themselves. Wow. Just plain wow. Awesome. Ahhh can't get over how great they are.

[rausha6]
