You weren't kidding about that fab and sassy sax soloing.(Try saying THAT six times really fast!)
Simply wonderful.
As per your message... Yes, your voice was higher back then. Still very nice, but these days it has a slight dusky quality at times which I really enjoy.
Wow...the drums, lead guitar, and your signature scats just kicked in! Wah-Ooooooo...
EXCELLENT!!!
Yes, I think most singers voices drop as they get older… When I listen to Joni Mitchell, she was such a pure soprano, but I actually preferred her voice as she got older, because it had a little more soul to it. I'm gravitating more toward the blues now, because that seems to lend itself toward my lower register.
