Thank you guys very much. I'm a little funnier than average, but I have memorized a gazillion little zingers and funny anecdotes - and added a few of my own, so I am very relaxed with groups. For purists, like Captain Russ, this might be anathema, but I get hired a lot because of it. My chops could be better, and I'm working on that and my vocals.

The other clip that I had mentioned earlier has a little of that patter:

For the most part, I want to keep the humor side of my show a trade secret and not include it in my Youtube videos.

I did a show at a high end retirement community last week, and a lady came up to me asking for my card. She said that she sang professionally at libraries accompanied by one keyboardist or another. And she said very bluntly, "I'm going to use a lot of your jokes." I'm trying to get jobs at these same libraries!
