We rarely deviated from the script when being taped.
Two exceptions:
One New Year's Eve, a guy the guitar player knew in the 70s showed up out of the blue. He & his wife were loving everything we did, but we decided to do a song unplanned for him.
We did a very good version of Uriah Heep's "Easy Living". (We have it on tape, so I'm not being nostalgic. )
He was so happy, we later did "Stealin'" by the same band.
Two in 2 sets, unreleased, but solid.
The guitar player sang both, but any of us could have sang it because we all knew the words.
The best part was that everyone was so accustomed to their role in the harmony parts that we had 4 part harmonies without ever discussing who would sing what part. We just knew.
