I want to move on and just do the classics and the swing stuff, but I don't want to be singing "Hot Legs" when I'm 80. Take for example, a song like "The Killing of Georgie Part I and II," I feel like that's a song today that has more meaning now than it probably even did then at the time. And he records in a little studio, which is probably three times the size of this and he gets 18 musicians in there and they all play live and all the solos are alive. We're halfway through it and it's really great, but it's not the sort of Frank Sinatra swing, it's more like, I don't know, like "Rock Around The Clock." We play it rock and roll style. It was 1976 when it came out and it helped them through a dark time. So it's a big event in England. So it's a big party, I think Elton is doing it and Duran Duran, Ed Sheeran, a lot of people are doing it. Baltin: As you say, it's a little heard song but it's funny because a lot of the times the song takes time. A lot of it goes over my head, but some of it's really good. So I listen to a lot of it with them. But I have a wonderful band that they're literally like my children. We changed a lot around, we put songs in and changed the running order, make it a bit different. I love what they bring to the party, business for the U.K. She's a great woman, she really is.
