 Summertime from "Porgy and Bess" is one of the most summertimeperformed songs of the modern era. Any respectable music collection has dozens of versions of the Gershwin classic, from Ella Fitzgerald's smoky take on the tune to Janis Joplin's raw, electric rendering. The Flood's been doing the song for years -- we even put it on a CD back in 2002. But "Summertime" changed for us when Michelle came along to sing the lead and let us play with some harmonies. Here's Michelle's "Summertime" from a recent Wednesday evening.
