Thanks, Rob!  We are fortunate to have a wonderful vocalist in our 
drummer, Damon Brown, who incidentally is the director and producer 
of a wonderful children's show about music called "The Biscuit 
Brothers" (shamelss plug for Damon -- call your local PBS station 
about carrying it!).  We get to do quite a few of these tunes with 
lyrics: The Lady Is A Tramp, Misty, All Of Me, Summertime, Bye Bye 
Blackbird, Fly Me To The Moon, and Route 66.  No matter how great my 
solos are, the songs that get applause are the upbeat songs with 
vocals.  The most fun ones are when I get to lay out for a verse and 
then come in after the lyric with a solo, then do fills on the next 
verse before the ending.  Builds nicely.
