When Chris arrived at the September 26 SuperSesh, he brought along friend and fellow muso – Jenny Halper.
We soon discovered that Jenny has a great singing voice, so we offered her a microphone and launched into George Gershwin’s 1935 classic ‘Summertime’.
Well done Jenny, and welcome to the PBGB Family !! Thanks for letting us post the song.
Jenny has indicated strongly that she would like to do more PBGB stuff, and Jenny............ we can’t wait !!
As we indicated on the post for Hound Dog ( one post below ) we had a few drinks at the SuperSesh and nobody took notes.
The track was produced by Neil in his Pambula Beach studio.
By the way, PBGB featured different versions of Summertime on both our third and fourth cds back in 2007 and 2008, so it seems to be a bit of a perennial PBGB favourite.
Not surprising really, old George knew a thing or two about writing a great song !!
Hopefully Summertime will not be the last post from the SuperSesh, so watch this space for more.
