Eternally grateful to you all for making great music and reducing the boredom and danger this pandemic brings Please keep safe we need the uplifting you bring (Australia ) PS it's great to see Erika again 🐸 :-)
Been enjoying this music, off and on, for over 80 yrs, and while I miss my Dad's plectrum banjo, this band is by far the best ive heard. Bless you all. Hi
This is a wonderful video that I watch at least once a day. I don't know what camera was used, but the video quality is much above the norm. I am sorry I can't see Shaye better, as she is the most interesting band member to watch, but nobody will complain about watching Erika. Shaye's solos are even more lyrical and inventive than usual. Erika consults a little tablet (to remind her of the lyrics?). Whatever they play, Robin has fun. Thanks so much, domila!
Hello ! I'm glad you liked these videos. I used that day a Fujifilm X30 compact camera, and was seated in the front row, unfortunately shifted slightly to the left of the stage. You can better see Shaye on the videos taken in Andernos during the same tour.This piece is usually sung by Gregory Sherman ...
I listened to the original song about a million times, and I did my best transcribing the lyrics. I couldn't find them online, so I think this is the only place they're located. Enjoy!

Like Erica singing as just another jazz instrument, but optional subtitles would be neat. It's fine not to decipher a few words, but here we strained to decipher which language.
ERIKA LEWIS, sends SHIVERS down my spine! A voice in a MILLION!
OMG, the instrumentation on this one is off the chart!
This Band is the best!! Pure People that love their Trade. They are Out Standing in their abilty to Play Music. Got it going on!
Great voice Erika - simply the best and you can't omit cornet girl Shaye and the rest of the band is outstanding too
Great tempo for the Banjo solo.....Your all just great.
Eternally grateful to you all for making great music and reducing the boredom and danger this pandemic brings Please keep safe we need the uplifting you bring (Australia ) PS it's great to see Erika again 🐸 :-)

Maybe Erika was checking on her babysitter.

If you love your woman, you better pin her to your side.

deciphered= a woman is stressed tryin to get her a man for doin woman-man things. Language needed fer dat? Non, not yet ever?
is that my phone number you're loooking for?
Great! Sometimes I also need some help for song lyrics... ;-)

Erika is good but this song belongs to Greg Sherman.
