Danny Thunderbird, would you do something for me?
[F#]
In a moment.
[D] [Fm] In a moment we'll do some things that Danny just really raises the roof on,
but while we're doing songs, we don't do a lot of songs as soundtrack.
Maybe this particular night we'll do more than we normally would because of what we're doing.
But I want you to listen to Danny do something.
We did this in London.
Most tenor singers are concerned with how high they can sing and raising the roof.
And Danny can do that better than anybody in the world.
But he can also do this.
Take a song and sing it with such heart and feeling.
The way he ends this song just flabbergasts me.
This is a little different than anything you'd hear most tenor singers do.
Listen as Danny sings a song called For What Earthly Reason.
