Names You Should Know Deeeeeeeeke.
(Edit: Our new friend Amy thoughtfully wrote in to ask us where each of the clips from this segment came from.  Good question!  Deke’s solo and muted trumpet clips come from “Summertime” off the House Jacks album Get Down Mr. President.  The arrangement clips appear in this order: House Jacks singing “The Way It Makes Me Feel” from Funkwich, Colorado College The Back Row singing “Gone” from Unleash the Periscope, The Alleycats singing “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” from Meow: That’s What I Call Music, University of Oregon Divisi singing “Two Points for Honesty” from Roots, House Jacks singing “This Man’s Pride” from Fitchy & Grikko.  Thanks Amy!)

Girlfriend of the Week Dave is currently dating the voice and arranging brain of Jazzy Danziger.
