This is a special song in my family, and especially between my dad and sister.  Its popularity in the 60&#8217;s led to my parents calling my sister Misty (even though her &quot;official&quot; name is Mary), and the song has become part of the powerful jazz bond between my father and sister.  Given that the concert is (for me) largely about family and friends (and to raise a little money for cancer charities) to have Sub-Evil play this song is really wonderful.  Joe gets <em>huge<\/em> props for working with us on this; having Tom play with him is essentially private lessons with an excellent musician, and I&#8217;m extremely grateful.<\/p>\n\n\t<div class=\"st-post-tags \">\n\tTags: <a href=\"https:\/\/UnhinderedByTalent.com\/Phi\/archives\/tag\/cancer\/\" title=\"cancer\">cancer<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/UnhinderedByTalent.com\/Phi\/archives\/tag\/family\/\" title=\"Family\">Family<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/UnhinderedByTalent.com\/Phi\/archives\/tag\/music\/\" title=\"Music\">Music<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/UnhinderedByTalent.com\/Phi\/archives\/tag\/mutant-variety-show\/\" title=\"Mutant Variety Show\">Mutant Variety Show<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/UnhinderedByTalent.com\/Phi\/archives\/tag\/performance\/\" title=\"performance\">performance<\/a><br \/><\/div>\n\n\n\t<h4>Related posts<\/h4>\n\t<ul class=\"st-related-posts\">\n\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/UnhinderedByTalent.com\/Phi\/archives\/2007\/03\/08\/mutant-variety-show\/\" title=\"Mutant Variety Show!
