JENNY HALPER WHIPS ONE UP


When Chris arrived at the September 26 SuperSesh, he brought along a long time friend and fellow muso – Jenny Halper.

We soon discovered that Jenny has a great singing voice, so we offered her a microphone and launched into  George Gershwin’s 1935  classic  ‘Summertime’.

You can hear how brilliantly Jenny sang it by clicking on ‘Summertime’ on the right of your screen.

Well done Jenny, and welcome to the PBGB Family !!

Thanks for letting us post the song.

Jenny has indicated strongly that she would like to do more PBGB stuff, and Jenny............ we can’t wait !!

As we indicated on the post for Hound Dog ( one post below ) we had a few drinks at the SuperSesh and nobody took notes.

So we THINK the line-up goes like this :

Jenny Halper on Vocals:

Mark Bolsius on Keyboards

Pol O’Shea on Bass

Garry Carson Jones, Gus Washbourne, and Lyndon Lewis on Guitars. ( Again, don’t ask what order !! )

Pete  on Drums

By the way, PBGB featured  different versions of Summertime on both our third and fourth cds back in 2007 and 2008, so it seems to be a bit of a perennial PBGB favourite.

Not surprising really, old George knew a thing or two about writing a great song !!


Hopefully Summertime will not be the last post from the SuperSesh, so watch this space for more.
