Standards
While standards and traditional songs are not generally part of the band's day-to-day repertoire, we regularly and gladly prepare them in order to honor special requests. At various events, we have performed Fly Me to the Moon, It Had to Be You, More, At Last, Besame Mucho, What a Wonderful World, Summertime, Unforgettable, Hava Nagila, and many others.
Requests
Special requests of any style can be learned for your occasion, given sufficient advance notice and, if the song is unfamiliar, a practice recording (a loaner CD or a dubbed practice tape).
