Herb - Thanks for the comments. It's always nice to get a different point of view. One thing you need to remember, though, is that you can't just move a backing to a different key and expect it to work. In this case I would have had to re-write the bass part and alter the chord inversions and I don't think that would have had the effect I wanted.

Courtney could easily sing in this key an octave up and be quite comfortable, but once again, it's not the sound we were after. What we wanted was something more in a spoken voice register. At the end of the day, though, it's all subjective.

ROG.
