    I will listen to this while I am doing billing tonight. Looks like a good 'un.The girls mimed their routine and sang for us sotto voce outside the restaurant in a vestibule, just for fun, after dinner. Yes, we were tempted to play out the string, but no, we did not. We were dead tired and facing a lot more driving. They had a limited time/budget to find someone in LV who could give them a shot. We exchanged names and phone numbers and we all talked about expecting to hear great things. End of story.
