The boy's rathskeller offering is in a manner a little different than the rest.
The current state of the act will not allow the duo to excel much further. They need to revise their repertoire and reduce some of the piano work. Instead of the "rag" prelude, the boys should go straight to work. Also, the two "piano man" songs are a bad feature. While the "Richman, Poorman" and "Whistling" songs are catchy, Brown does not get as much out of them as he should. Moreover, their gestures should be refined as they become repetitive.
