Since we spend so much time on YouTube, we thought it was time to join the fun. Check it out:

These are two PSAs we produced last month for the Baton Rouge Area Foundation. After obtaining permission to re-record "Come Rain or Come Shine," we cut two versions of the song with two different bands - a more traditional version with an all-star, jazz trio (that included Ellis Marsalis's bass player, Bill Huntington) and a spooky, late-night version. After pasting the two together, we booked vocalist Stephanie Jordan, who brought it all home with an amazing, Billie Holiday inspired take on this Harold Arlen / Johnny Mercer classic. With the music bed then taken care of, we added famous New Orleans restaurateur and civic leader Leah Chase for the voice over. Needless to say, we are pleased with the results.
