I will leave the comments about production to others that know what they are talking about. I thought that you did a very good interpretation of this song. IMHO so many singers today tend to over-sell a song with volume, inappropriate emotion, and with notes held at an inappropiate time for too long and screechy of a time. You did none of this but still had a fun, and attention getting performance.
Nice job.

I improved a little on the vocals and changed the sax. The sax is not real, so the sax sucks...I know... Any real sax player out there?

Wow! Awesome performance! The sax could easily be replaced by a piano solo.

To be honest, I told everyone it's a backing track of Aebersold! So I only take credits for the vocals and the mix of the vocals..:) But thabks anyway to you all. Feel free to visit my website at http://richard.flaxfield.com/ I'm still looking for good musicians.

Very cool. Whenever I hear this song now I think of the scene in "A League Of Their Own" wghere the girl was drunk singing this. She was horrible but she was supposed to be. I would say you have a really nice tone on your vocals. Be aware of the upper part of the note, that will keep you from being flat sometimes. I'm sure your vocal coach tells you that. The bass on this alone would keep me listening. You did a really nice job. I look forward to hearing more of your vocals. Whatever Aebersold is....THEY ROCK!
