COMING ATTRACTIONS

Mood:  lyrical
Karen and I have been saving up all our chutzpah in a couple of Mason jars and are now working on vocals
for many of our tunes. The music of the 20s and 30s is not only great instrumentally, but many of the lyrics are quite entertaining as well. We really want to share this with our listeners!
Some of the songs we've been honing our vocal chops on include the personal favorite "Ten Cents a Dance" (most famously sung by the enchanting Ruth Etting), "Am I Blue?", the snappy "Are You Makin' Any Money?", the silly "Pink Elephants", "Second Hand Rose", "My Blue Heaven", and "April Showers."
Let us tell you...playing a cello and singing is much like spinning plates whilst riding a bicycle, but by Jove, practice makes perfect! Fortunately, we love a good challenge.
Stay tuned for further developments!
