Hey thanks a lot guys!

The singer is my sister-in-law and she has never played with a band before. In fact the only singing she has done has been alone in her car. I've known her 10 years and had no idea she had a voice until a few months back haha.

Wow thanks for the kind words.

I am trying to convince her to play out but she is really shy and has stage fright...

When is the next open mic in your area? Absolutely need to do this song. Strong work by all the players.
