"Most of all I'm so grateful to my friends and partners who lend their unconditional support year after year. We're able to produce an arena level show at an intimate venue and keep the ticket prices affordable because these incredible artists donate their time and deliver unbelievable performances, with all of the profits going directly to an incredible cause. That's my kind of philanthropy!"

    =======================
    A White Shade Of Pale lyrics:
    We skipped the light fandango
    Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
    I was feeling kinda seasick
    But the crowd called out for more
    The room was humming harder
    As the ceiling flew away
    When we called out for another drink
    The waiter brought a tray
    And so it was that later
    As the miller told his tale
    That her face, at first just ghostly
    Turned a whiter shade of pale
    She said, there is no reason
    And the truth is plain to see
    But I wandered through my playing cards
    And would not let her be
    One of sixteen vestal virgins
    Who were leaving for the coast
    And although my eyes were open
    They might have just as well've been closed
    And so it was that later
    As the miller told his tale
    That her face at first just ghostly
    Turned a whiter shade of pale
    She said, 'I'm home on shore leave'
    Though in truth we were at sea
    So I took her by the looking glass
    And forced her to agree
    Saying, 'You must be the mermaid
    Who took Neptune for a ride.'
    But she smiled at me so sadly
    That my anger straightway died
    And so it was that later
    As the miller told his tale
    That her face at first just ghostly
    Turned a whiter shade of pale
    If music be the food of love
    Then laughter is its queen
    And likewise if behind is in front
    Then dirt in truth is clean
    My mouth by then like cardboard
    Seemed to slip straight through my head
    So we crash-dived straightway quickly
    And attacked the ocean bed
    And so it was that later
    As the miller told his tale
    That her face at first just ghostly
    Turned a whiter shade of pale

      Respectfully disagree with you, I do agree that the audio from the smartphone was not good but if you do listen to the version with the group HSAS fronted by Sammy you'll find a more polished version

      The beauty of UA-cam is you can manually speed up (or slow down) videos and the algorithm is so good that it doesn't make everything sound like squeaky chipmunks. Sometimes just a slight uptick to 1.2x normal speed can make all the difference in the world. Cheers!
