At The End Of The Day Another from the November 2018 Album When the Leaves Begin To Fall Vocal: Amanda Hutchens Tenor Sax: Gary Strother May I brag on my partners for a moment? Amanda sight sings better than anyone I have ever worked with. Lead, harmony, counterpoint - if she can see it she can sing it! And what a pleasant talent! She comes to sessions prepared with breathing and phrasing marked, inserting her own interpretations in meaningful ways. I have learned to trust her judgement because she just knows what a song needs. An entrepreneur, a community leader, a family pillar - and skilled multi-instrumentalist. Gary is a busy man in a responsible position in industry. The guy can solve project management problems you don't even know you have! But he can also play his horn in anybody's band - his sight reading at tempo is astounding, to say nothing of his improvisation skills. His compositions are fun to play and durable. And he has an innate ability to provide exactly the leadership that is needed in rehearsals and performances - even when he isn't the designated leader. One last item and I'll let this go. Gary and Amanda met once - ever. Just as he was leaving a session she arrived to track vocals. They spoke for about one minute. But to hear them you'd think they were working together all the time. Such is the talent pool I get to draw from! Key=F Tempo 124 Length (m:s)=3:42 Style is _BNGGRMD.STY RealTracks in style: ~~921:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 110 RealTracks in style: ~~925:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Bossa Ev 110 RealTracks in style: ~1104:Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm BossaGrooveComp Ev 140 RealDrums in Style: BossaTerryClarke^6-a:Blastix , b:Sticks RT & RD rendered and ported to Logic Pro 9 compression reverb

WOW, I LOVE Amandas' voice. VERY natural, and not at all straining like many of todays singers are. Garys' sax is also superb. Great song and nice backing as well Bob
