Listen to me sing!
I finally got around to posting some new music files on my website. These are from earlier this year, when I sang with Regina quartet Livingston Square in the all-Gerswhin concert “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Gershwin!” at Government House. The other three members of the quartet were Evan Purchase, Dianne Burrows and Carolyn Speirs; Alison Purdy accompanied.
Here are five songs (in Windows Media format) from our concert at Government House: I Got Plenty o’ Nuttin’ and Bidin’ My Time (my two soloes), Nice Work if You Can Get it (a duet with Carolyn Speirs), Love is Sweeping the Country, a medley, and I Got Rhythm, our encore.
Enjoy!

Thanks for pointing out the bad links! They’re fixed now.
And I hope I do get to hear you live. When do you start your national tour?
The links to the first 2 songs didn’t work but I enjoyed the others, especially I Got Rhythm. My barbershop quartet has no recordings or I’d send you samples. You’ll just have to hear us live!
