@DavesXXXXXXXX thanks!! I hope the VCM runs their jazz workshop again next year (this year the organizer took a break from running it).

What a terrific rendition! I first heard "Angel Eyes" as a youngster in the 1970s. It was a track on an old Shirley Bassey album that was kicking around our house, and from what I remember, it was played regularly. The Victoria Conservatory of Music faculty and students should have more clips on Youtube and more material to view/purchase on its website. Everything I've heard that's associated with the VCM has been terrific -- so much talent!

Nice job. I like the percussive intertwining of kitchen utensils with background humanoid verbiage.
I guess the trick with this one is how to get it to sound non-plodding.

thanks Luke! :) it's a jazz song, written by Matt Dennis (it has been recorded by a bunch of people before)
