Said Wyoming's Democratic Senator Gale McGee: "I have not noticed that those who oppose our policies in Southeast Asia have been coerced into silence. If anything, the tempo of their vocal exercises has been increased...
...ignored Schutz' constant shifts of meter. But the anti-phonal choruses had an excitement in their tone and enunciation, and gave a bouvancy to their lines, that prefigured the best qualities of the concert. Bach's Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden, however, was disappointing in just these respects. The tempo was too slow, the words were totally inaudible in the women's parts, and the sopranos lost their nerve half-way through. Their tone lost all conviction, and the pitch, already shaky, deteriorated...

More than just live Muzak, the best of the cocktail pianists "play the room," alternating from up-tempo numbers to dreamy lullabies to suit the mood of the audience. Requests are encouraged (current favorite: Lara's Theme from the film score of Doctor Zhivago), but in many instances the cocktail pianist is more prized for his fellowship than his musicianship. Table hopping between sets is essential, and any pianist worth his arpeggio greets the entrance of old customers by sliding into their favorite numbers...
...Chicago's Mon Petit, is a singer in the tradition of Mabel Mercer-quiet, cool, reassuring. In the '40s, he wrote songs for Edith Piaf; later he tried his hand at musicals in New York before migrating to Chicago, where he leavens a Continental repertory with up-tempo show tunes and a few Beatle ballads.
