Sedritz is definitely an underrated singer. He should be acknowledged MORE. I brought him to the Fantastic Violinaires as a guitar player knowing he could sing as well and they didn't recognize his talent. Then, I brought him into Lil Blair & the Violinaires as a guitar player, again knowing he would be able to help in the background. He was tight with the harmony. At this time I was singing top. But, I heard how keen his voice was. I said, "wait a minute ..."!
I told him, "YOU take top and I'LL sing the second." I was FLOORED! From that time on, on the really high songs, we had Sedritz switch to top and I sang the second (which everybody knows even the baritone and second tenor for the Violinaires has ALWAYS been sky high). Often, we switch during mid-song. Not only does this save the voice, but it makes for some crazy sounds to hear the voice flip that way. Robert Blair would have been proud to hear Sedritz today.
BTW ... do you know that Lil Blair is an outstanding top tenor singer, too? It puts me in the mind of the Dixons. That guy could sing a squally lead and flipt to the cleanest, highest tenor you ever heard.
I also failed to mention that Sedritz sang with The Brooklyn Allstars for many years ... wonderful guys there ... I love them. But, I always thought Sedritz sounded like a Violinaire.
Great, that's just great. I can't believe that guy hit those notes. He's one of the greatest of all times. Keep up the good work Sedrick.
Thanks for commenting, DShock. :) This song and "Tell Me How Long" are two of my favorites.
BEAUTIFUL SONG ,SWEET VOICES.

TThe guy singing TOP is phenomenal!We call it whistling in the Gulf coast of Texas...
Now that's a classic Violinaires/Evereadys cut you just don't hear anymore. Only true Violinaire fans know about that one.
@Braztx
Whistling indeed! :)
@victoriaflowers35
Also one of my Violinaire favs! :)
@ryancoleman3
He was sitting in that day.
Maurice has been with the Cantons like ... welll a long, long time, now. :)
@mynsxt6
Sorry ... I don't know.
It is on the Album "Message to My Friends"
I think he is one of Maurice Morgan's family, riffin' lead scales. He can play, can't he?
@Violinaire1 does anyone have Jerome's version of this song on .mp3
@MsAdvenger08 Do you have Jerome's version on mp3?
