You have surrounded my lil ole rendition with some outstanding work! And yes, I have several other cover tunes along those lines (which are probably better executed as well). They were conceived for the repertoire of The Inspiration, a co-ed a cappella ensemble at The University of Pennsylvania, of which I was a charter member. I had never arranged music before I joined the group, and that experience has been a backbone of the way I approach vocal harmonies today. So if you'd like to hear more of that style of music, whether it's one of my arrangements or those of other group members, just let me know. I'd be happy to send them along.
