    Bonjour Luigi, many thanks for the re-post, Yes the video is great, scatting a Rodgers & Hart song is fine any day of the week. The Porgy & Bess 'escaped' me years ago, I think probably because of a preference for one of the others that they did together, there is a wonderful Moonlight in Vermont on it. Anyway thanks again, keep fit, Roger.
