That looks really interesting!!!! Bill is definitely an unsung hero as a singer and song writer-one of the best!!!

Here is my favorite Bill Withers song, rearranged here by Patricia Barber, with the amazing Mike Arnopol (very underrated, IMHO) on bass:

Q: How do you turn a duck into a soul singer?

A: Put it in the microwave until its bill whithers.
