Video from the Black Fox: Fly Me To The Moon
Here’s the first of what I hope will be several videos from our April 13 performance at the Black Fox Lounge. I’m very happy that we captured this particular performance of “Fly Me To The Moon”, which went on an interesting (and surprising) trip.
The band:
- Aaron Myers, vocals
- Oren Levine, piano
- Percy White, bass
- Joe Henderson, drums (filling in for our regular drummer Will Stephens)
More fun to come next Friday the 20th with Aaron and the ensemble.
