Sexy Smile Drives Man To Sing Duet ~ With Himself!

A pretty Swiss Lady's Sexy Smile drives tall basso ANDY RAWN crazy enough to step onto an open balcony and into a a stiff December breeze 100 feet above the Pacific, attempting to sing a Duet ~ with Himself!

In an arrangement for the Stephen Foster Classic (composed in 1851) and Florida's State Song ~ also known as "Old Folks At Home" ~ a 2-Part Harmony is performed on the balcony of 10th Deck Cabin C247, with only the wind's rhythms as accompaniment.




ANDY accomplished the "effect" of a duet (with himself) by singing the Harmony Line first followed immediately by SWANEE's Melody Line (maintaining approximately the same tempo) and ~ back home in West L.A. ~ editing the two Lines together.

The occasion was ANDY & IRMGARD's 50th Wedding Anniversary onboard Golden Princess's L.A.-Hawaii roundtrip (Nov 23 through Dec 7-11). Here's a Cordial Dedication to those who made this celebration even more special:

ANDREW, LEONARD & BRYSON RAWN at home, ANDREW's friend LIEN, LEONARD's friend ERWINA, Travel Consultants STEVE & MELISSA NICOLET In Seattle, B.J. & HELENE HANSEN at Palm Court, Internet Cafe Manager LAURA ION from Romania, Horizon Court Assistant LORENA FERNANDEZ from Mexico City,Table No. 275 Companions ROSALIE BABBIDGE, JIM & NANCY SHERIDAN, TOM & SANDY BARBIN, Shipmates TRITON TAYLOR (Voice Major at Boston's Berklee School Of Music), TRITON's Brother ZAREK & Sister JULIE, NEIL with JANE McLEOD from Glasgow, Comedian ELLIOTT MAXX and that amazing Good Samaritan on Maui: HOLLY LYONS. IRMGARD's Camcorder is a Sony DCR-SX 40 with Zeiss Lens. AmericanSongwriters@yahoo.com (310) 459-2326

Dear Andy, Happy 50th anniversary to you both and congratulations ! Wow. It's unbelievable, you barely look 50, so the concept of a 50th anniversary is something that 97 % of the people on this planet never get to celebrate either because of divorce or simply they die earlier than they could achieve a mile stone like that. Out of those who do get to celebrate it, you are the rarity who does not look the age, quite unbelievable ! Congratulations and many more happy years to you ! Marianne

Look ANDY, this duet is getting more Views! Still amazed how you performed the harmony line so CLOSE to the melody out there on our cabin's balcony, what pacing and with nothing more than the wind to accompany you. Except me! I'm proud to be on this unique video too ~ bravos to you Sweetheart! IRMGARD

IRMGARD ~ Your Intro to this video is both the thumbnail and its correct advertising: remember that famous 20th Century ad slogan: Babes, Beauties & Beasts? Well, in this new Music video, you're MY BEAUTY. And, yes, I'm also "a little bit" amazed how well those 2-seperate lines edited together, it was obviously meant to happen. Love, ANDY

Hi DOUG ~ This Anniversary Cruise was meant to happen ~ full of nostalgia and song: at one point Irmgard was kissed ion the cheek by a lovely Hawaiian woman in the middle of a song while providing non-stop accompaniment on her Ukelele with the street band to which she belonged! Here's wishing you & yours an elegant Holiday Season ~ ANDY

[CurzonRoad]

Two (2) Andy's for the price of one!

Warm congratulations to you and Irmgard on your 50th anniversary!

Best.

E-mail from tenor-friend JIMMY in Eugene Mon Dec12-11:

"Finally got around to seeing your fascinating performance with your doppelganger on the cruise ship. How beautiful Irmgard looks against the blue Pacific, hair slightly fluttering in the ocean breeze. What a neat trick you pulled off! Oh, but how I wanted to jump on board and see the rest of what you two took in."
