Thank you all for the kind comments.

Kieth, it was a listening gig.

The Stuart library system has auditoriums where they hold concerts. A mix of national and local acts. It's a way to keep people interested in the library and offer another community service.

This was our first one, and we've done every other year since then (which is the most anybody gets). We've also 'graduated' to the biggest library with the biggest auditorium (holds a couple of hundred people with a real stage.

Larry, we too enjoy the Etta James version more than the Celine Dion (although she did a decent cover). Beyonce did a nice cover, too. Me? I like Leilani's version best (I'm prejudiced though).

Danny, yes Leilani can SANG. I got real lucky with her.

I met her when we were both recently divorced. She was singing in another band, and we became each others groupies for a while. Then my band broke up, and hers was about to. At that time another group was looking for a sax player and singer. We joined. About a year later, after some personnel problems, we started the duo, pre-recording the tracks on a 4 track Teac reel-to-reel tape recorder. When MIDI came we embraced that as my house doesn't have good acoustics.

Mario, we've had a number of requests for a CD. I used to be a first call sax player in the only decent recording studio around. The owner had a stroke in the 1990s and nobody has replaced that. I guess home recording is in, but I don't have a good room or the gear for that. frown And between gigging and the BiaB business, time is short too.

Thanks again for all the kind words.

Bob
