If I ever wake up to hear a song of mine be sung 9 women, I'm sure I'll start sobbing... when I found it and sent it to Allison, she just responded "DAVE OMG"... it couldn't have happened to a better person. Here's the video description:
DeCadence performing "So Much Grace," by Allison Sattinger, at the 16th Annual A Cappella Against AIDS Benefit Concert at UC Berkeley on February 26, 2010. Sorry about the break in the video near the end, but everyone thought the song was over when it was just a pause and I stopped the camera.
Proceeds went to the AIDS Project East Bay http://www.apeb.org

Six chorus girls to sing me a song
In the song St. James Infirmary, the verse near the end laments if he dies, he wants to go out in style... gambling friends to carry his coffin, girls to sing a song, money in his pocket (previous verse), and a band to raise Hell as they stroll along:
"Get six gamblers to carry my coffin
Six chorus girls to sing me a song
Put a twenty-piece jazz band on my tail gate
To raise Hell as we go along"
Now... I'll be glad to have any friend sing... these women would be fun to walk along down the road... ah to be where they'll burn me up... I forgot... I want my ashes strewn over Lake Michigan, or dumped into the Mississippi River.
Ok back to the girls... I must be going to the wrong pizza places too... this one was recorded while they were standing in line?

A Cappella done right- a few updated links
Not sure how I ran into this video or blog, but I couldn't help be wowed. I'd love to see them live; and if the cover of The Wailing Jennys song leave's you going, "Who?"... then you are likely missing the best folk group touring today.
Here you can sing along with them :
The Parting Glass(Traditional)
Oh all the money that e'er I spent
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had
Are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had
Would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
I'm trying to get a hold of their director to encourage them to cover Allison Sattinger's "So Much Grace."
I haven't written any song worthy of having fourteen beautiful voices sing it... I better get going
