Dan has a video clip of this here.

They were great! I live on this block and could not for the life of me figure out where this was coming from, as the sound was everywhere. Loved it.
There was some very fine music making going on- more talent in this neck of the woods than you can a shake a stick at! Thank You All Stars and, of course, those on the front lines!
