Did I catch a “Clue” the movie reference at the very end?! LOL! Nice one Christopher!

Nice ears Alfred.
Listen to Show #63 of The Acapodcast (when it comes out) for a truly epic McFerrin/Williams collaboration…
I’d tell you more about it, but where’s the mystery in that?
Dave, like Christopher I have had several chances to perform with Maestro McFerrin while in the voice program at The University of Colorado as well as with the Baltimore Symphony orchestra after college. I have two pictures with him and an autograph. Neener neener, you have too much fun and you need to start taking Christopher with you. I kid cause I love!!
