actsfittolead So scary and sad for all of you. Sure hope you are safe. Wyoming got hit with a bad snowstorm as well as Colorado and other surrounding states. Washed the air and reduced fire danger momentarily. Be well.🌹

Not quite...and yes, I share your feelings.
Vocal jazz at its best🤤. My three fave parts are Blake at 1:30 and Andrea and Eleanor at 1:40. And of course Pacey’s imitation of a bass guitar
That was very good.
Merci beaucoup ! Félicitations pour votre talent ! Vous êtes parfaits 🙂

May I humbly suggest - South American Getaway by Burt Bacharach from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

kinda weird to have the sonic quality of the usual classical/contemporary classical stuff (i.e. cathedral reverb) but then to be singing Nat King Cole

I'm also not a big fan of such much reverb for a song of this kind of tempo.

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air The monkey thought that everything was on the square The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back But the monkey grabbed is neck and said now listen jack Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay tight Straighten up and fly right Cool down papa don't you blow your top Ain't no use in diving What's the use of jiving Straighten up and fly right Cool down papa don't you blow your top The buzzard told the monkey you are choking me Release your hold and i will set you free The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye And said your story's so touching, it's sounds just like a lie Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay tight Straighten up and fly right Cool down papa don't you blow your top Scat Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay tight Straighten up and fly right Cool down papa don't you blow your top Ain't no use in diving What's the use of jiving Straighten up and fly right Cool down papa don't you blow your top
They forgot their instruments
Hate the guy with the long hair and beard. Too good looking. Love the lady in the gold. Too good looking!
The ladies' talent seriously outshines the men's

i disagree, this arrangement allows the women's talent to shine really well, but the men in this group are equally capable in their own right.
