I am glad The Bird and the Bee had the backup tracks for polite dance song. I was wondering how it would sound without the kids singing towards the end.

Barb, do you think there's any chance of the Gutter Twins touring 'round here? I'm loving everything Lanegan these days. I can't seem to get enough of the "Revival" track he did with Soulsavers.

mikeA,
Hard to believe how many musical layers came from an iPod! Overall, I was very impressed with the Bird & The Bee's performance. Inara's voice gave me goosbumps several times.

Auntie,
I would be surprised if they don't make a stop here eventually (perhaps once it warms up.) As I recall, Twilight Singers launched a tour here back in 2006 and they certainly have a few friends in town.
