Bill would have been proud too, not forgetting Bill! thanks again.

This is fabulous!  It's made even better by the fact that Mike and Robert McDuffie have been friends since childhood, and were both able to fulfill their musical dreams. Love this!

One of the few songs that makes me cry!  And this version is just so beautiful.

The audience's reaction to seeing Mike Mills attending was underwhelming.

I loved this.....

Well that was about perfect. Love the other musicians and their "clapping" at the end by slapping their legs with one hand. So much grace, beauty, and class in what can be a very loud and vulgar world.

The cellist looks remarkably like the girl who played "Saffron" on Absolutely Fabulous, does she not?!
