Wow, thanks Tusk. I'm glad she likes the videos. As usual you've done a great job zooming and cropping the videos to get the best overall framing of Haley. The sound is subtly enhanced also. Looking forward to what you do with the last video. I think it's going to be great, perhaps second only to 'At Last'.

Your video has such great definition, I could zoom in quite a bit and not lose that much resolution... for Creep, I went in a little farther, should've gone in more on CHFIL, but the result is great. I'm able to put these out faster because there's minimal editing and yes, I did a slight bit of "spit polishing" to the audio, just enough to give it a bit of sparkle .

My deepest gratitude, popfly38, for attending the Bethesda show and capturing this amazing concert with Haley and Dave Damiani & The No Vacancy Orchestra for all of us to relish. Extremely nice camera work even with trying to be as discreet as possible. Thanks Tusk for your always first-rate and professional looking video and audio edits. I love love Big Band jazz and I am ecstatic that my favorite vocalist is helping to keep that era alive. Haley sounds so good and she fits right into that ambiance seamlessly.

The song selections are outstanding and as you said popfly, the arrangements for her songs are great. I just can’t get enough of You Know I’m No Good and Gee Baby Ain’t I Good To You. I’m really glad Haley included Love Is Worth Fighting For on the set list, probably my favorite of her originals and she continues to give me goosebumps with the song. At Last seems to get better and better for me if that is even possible. The piano playing is stellar (Gary Matsumoto?) and he complements Haley’s voice beautifully, so smooth and delicate on the keys. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without her two big hits, Can’t Help Falling In Love and Creep with the horns being an excellent addition to the dynamics and power of Haley’s vocals. A very nice collection by Haley that may be short but very sweet.

Thanks again popfly and Tusk.

I like the addition of the bass played with a bow on this rendition of CHFIL. It adds to a haunting quality to the song.

[Tusk]

I was wondering what I was hearing, thought that maybe there were strings out of camera view...but it became clear that Alex, the Bass player, was using a bow, with this tweet for tonight.....
