Spencer does his Harmony correctly . He adds without drowning out Julie's lead. A lesson for all Harmony singers. You are to enhance the song without interfering with the lead vocal . The Running Mates are really rolling on this one

One of the best " Linger" covers I've heard!

I could listen to this 100 times and not get tired of it.

*Linger* If you, if you could return Don't let it burn Don't let it fade I'm sure I'm not being rude But it's just your attitude It's tearing me apart It's ruining every day I swore, I swore I would be true And honey so did you So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand? Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you? But I'm in so deep You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger? Oh, I thought the world of you I thought nothing could go wrong But I was wrong, I was wrong If you, if you could get by Trying not to lie Things wouldn't be so confused And I wouldn't feel so used But you always really knew I just want to be with you And I'm in so deep You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger? And I'm in so deep You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger? You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?

This is what I love. Watch both of their strumming rhythm. It's like a mirror. So many people don't get into sync and rhythm with each other it makes it sound off. This is perfect musicianship.

You better not sell it… After 25 years of not playing I finally made the decision to pick up the guitar again and really learn it this time. I messed around with it for about five years in my youth but put it down at 19 to focus on other stuff. It was the biggest mistake putting it down all those years ago. My 44th (11th real) birthday is this Thursday and for this year I decided to get myself a new acoustic and new gear! Don’t give up and keep at it…. It will come and you are excellent already!!
