For our second appearance on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, 13 years ago today, we were asked to play “You Can Have It All.” We had spent most of the year singing along with a backing track, James and I dancing a Pips-inspired routine to accompany Georgia’s lead. But that felt out of context for tv, so we put on our thinking caps and came up with an all-new approach. The three of us agreed that Georgia should not both sing and play, so we lined up Rachael McNally and Patrick Ramos as double drummers. Our pal, Garo Yellin, put together a string quartet and we fleshed out the cello arrangement that appears on the And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out version. And we got Kelsey Grammer’s autograph! All in all, a good day at the office.
