After the GENE PITNEY concert at The Mohegan Sun Cabaret on Saturday, March 29th, 2003, three former members of the fabulous BELL AIRES and LARRY LEE (Harper) began singing as we all filed out together... we wound up just outside the front doors of the Cabaret, and with a growing audience, which included JIMMY FALLON, sang a surprisingly good impromptu version of the great Turbans tune "CONGRATULATIONS"... which a fellow attendee, KEN GUSMANO, happened to record (mostly)... It was special, and the folks outside thought so too. Here it is, for your enjoyment!
