I really love this piece - it never wears.

Hey!!

Can it get better than this below??!!

Don’t be elitist.

These guys all wear suits, have pretty much straight white teeth and decent haircuts. They may have had a tough life as well. We really don’t don’t know. But probably did. Give them the benefit of the doubt.

I think they are great. Ecumenical and racially diverse.

Don’t be judgemental.

Soak it in and enjoy it for what it is.

You’ve heard the song before above.

But the lyrics just stun me:

Lie to Me
Jonny Lang


Lie to me
and tell me everything is all right
Lie to me
and tell me that you'll stay here tonight
Tell me that you'll never leave,
And I'll just try to make believe
That everything you tell me is true
Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me
Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me
Lie to me
it doesn't matter anymore
It could never be the way it was before
If I can't hold on to you
Leave me with something I can hold onto,
For just a little while won't you let me be
Anyone can see
That you love him more than me
But right now, baby, let me pretend
That our love will never end
Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me
Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me
Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me
Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me

As I suspected, these guys started out as a student a cappella group (Indiana U). At Penn, where I work, as at many other schools, there's quite a thriving tradition of such groups, so I hear them at events fairly often. Straight No Chaser's arrangements are great and they've clearly struck a chord (sorry) to be able sustain a professional performing career for more than a decade. Thanks for the pointer.

Thank you. I hadn't seen this. The most beautiful hand-position technique I’ve ever seen. His wrists and upper hands move with absolute economy and grace—almost a stillness, while his fingers seem almost to be independently mobile sideways—even as an old man. No wonder he was so great in that repertoire.
