For those of you who were unable to attend February's Patreon Exclusive Happy Hour - we missed you! Ann Hampton Callaway and her wife, Kari Strand joined us to catch up, discuss the state of our ever changing / mad / beautiful world, and reminisce about their wedding celebration at Birdland. We hope you've been able to check out the private video link we shared with y'all of that special event... what a night of music and love that was! As the happy hour was winding down, Janis and Lauren winkled Ann to sing and here's what she came up with using audience suggested words and phrases: burst pipes, anchovies, deflower a genius, and spanking. All topics which had come up in conversation that evening... ;) Enjoy! #songbytitos

You Can written by Michael Mayo Additional Vocal Arrangement by Lauren Kinhan and Janis Siegel Mixed by Trist Curless Video edited by Lauren Kinhan Michael Mayo offered up this vignette to our Vocal Gumbo collaboration playground and we painted with watercolors delicately holding the song and sentiment as the main story. Michael did all the vocal programming, and Janis and I did our usual "in the blind" vocal arrangements creating this unique one of a kind experience.

Vocal Gumbo Productions discovered a gem of a song written by Joe Locke (with the help of song guru Russ Titelman) and we proposed a collaboration with the extraordinary Kenny Washington. Andy Ezrin laid the gorgeous piano arrangement for us to spin, creating this relayed production over the miles. The vocal arrangement is written and sung by Janis Siegel and Lauren Kinhan with every effort made to leave space for Kenny's and Andy's performances to the highlight. Written by Joe Locke Mix and Video Edit by Lauren Kinhan Aired on Vocal Gumbo Episode #6 on 8/14/20
