RE: Irvin Mayfield extends new invite to Haley

Just when I think the interactions with Haley and her family can’t get any more special, you prove me wrong. Himm2, very nice video and the audio is perfect and loved the close-ups and extra thanks to your perseverance to record the whole segment despite the circumstances.
Haley never ceases to amaze. We finally get to hear Haley sing “Dream a Little Dream of Me”, one of my favorites, after being teased with a snippet in Malaysia and imagining how she sounded at the private party. The wait is over and I love it. Haley’s old soul has no problems getting into the groove of that era. Her “Moanin’” with NOJO is the best version so far. Haley takes it to another level if that is possible, the conviction and power in her voice, the full jazz band and great musicians behind her and the scatting with Irvin Mayfield Jr. is unbelievable. Jeffery Miller on trombone is only 17!! Haley’s ability to mimic an instrument with her voice is incredible. “Come Rain or Come Shine” has been performed by all the greats, the list is very imposing, and Haley does not disappoint one iota. Her skill at transitioning from one tempo to another is very impressive. I need to listen to these songs over and over to really appreciate Haley’s many nuances.
I wish I had been there to completely absorb the full impact of her voice and the band and maybe someday I will.
You know many current artists have waited well into their careers before attempting to record The Great American Songbook probably feeling they weren’t ready until then. Judging by the Carnegie Hall and Chicago Theatre concerts Haley is ready now although career wise she may feel the need to hold off awhile. Just one more Haley treat to look forward to. Agree 1000/00 ISCAT if it's possible she's better anytime and HIMM you
deserved at least an dozen of Captain Dinkens yells,TNX,TNX and TNX.

But she sounded BEAUTIFUL on the live stream! I can only imagine how it was in person 
Speaking of "Beautiful," some of her notes in the last minute of Moanin' reminded me the last part of her performance of Beautiful on AI. I had a pleasant deva vu experience at 4:43 and 5:19 of the PJ video, as it reminded me of 1:43 and 2:16 of this one (as well as some of the other things she was doing with her voice): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV-5NIkKj8U
That, and I may have seen God, too.

RE: Irvin Mayfield extends new invite to Haley
^^ Well said Buzz! Haha I think you really are feeling better. The usher was telling me "No flash photography" when we were filming Haley and I wasn't using any. Just pointing my camera towards the stage. And she came at me twice, pointing her finger at me.  Penny was sitting next to me holding her camera way up in the air, and she didnt say a word to her.
Now that I think of it, I bet it had something to do with the size of my lens. MY camera isn't big, but has a zoom lens. penny's camera is smaller. Himm and Tusk got the same "whip lashing" as I did.
This is Haley's Aunt Danni on the left. Very sweet lady. she calls me the Taco lady, since I gave her an extra taco I had at BG days.  She comes to many of Haley's and Midnights functions.
