    *  Shakespeare Songs Book III - Matthew Harris

    *  Who is Sylvia - George Shearing

    *  Fear no more - Stephen Sondheim

    *  That Old Black Magic, Penny Lane, Somewhere, You’re the Top, Misty, Sing Sing Sing, It Had to be You, The Best is Yet to Come …..

    and with a piano duet and all the singers together, a show stopping rendition of A Handful of Keys!
