This is a mix of Disney performers and music teachers at various colleges in Central Florida. They bring tears to my eyes because I realize I am listening to true talent here. Doing something I can't do anymore. Singing. +++Voctave+++ = From Florida I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines. 1. How much did you make in 2023? 2. Send it to us.

The thing that got me was how accurate they are singing some WAY out there enhanced/embellished chords. Crazy diminished 7ths and such are hard enough to voice out much less sing those intricate intervals. And it didn't hurt that the song I first heard them perform was Over The Rainbow. I have said for years that had Harold Arlen written ONLY that one song he would be among the greatest composers ever. +++Pete Barbutti and the famous Somewhere Over The Rainbow joke+++ Last edited by eddie1261; 09/08/23 03:11 PM.

I have a hard time just singing anything more than a third or fourth in a harmony. And I gotta have melodyne on standby.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

That said I certainly have confidence that a live performance would also be very impressive. Not really my kind of music, but that's as may be.

One of the times I saw them (I think, 3 in total, and not since Tim Hauser died) they did an homage piece to Ella Fitzgerald, and Cheryle did a long section of scat. Some of the intervals were an octave, and some were as high as 2 steps beyond an octave, so literally a 10th, and her pitch was perfect on every move. They have some mileage on them so I don't know how long they will still be around. Cheryl is 69 now. Janis Siegel is 71. Alan Paul is 73. Tim was 72 when he died 9 years ago. They started the year I got out of high school!! Total professionals, and a class act all the way. I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines. 1.

They are just spectacular. My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

They add a lot of great harmony and the very high, high, high notes! My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
