Title: Alembic Sighting
Post by: alembickoa on August 20, 2012, 12:07:39 AM: This has probably been posted. Found it earlier when I was warming up to see Manhattan Transfer in concert tonight. They were stunningly off the hook, by the way...

I just love Manhattan Transfer, but they're definitely one of those things where you just think, 'man, I'll NEVER be that cool. . . .'.
