This singing act entitled “The Tenor and the Bass” was fourteen minutes long.
The bass acts as the straight and wears evening clothes. The tenor dresses as an Italian street vendor. The bass talks briefly at the beginning.
"The more they sang the better they were liked and they got away to one of the most spontaneous bursts of applause of the evening."
The character of the Italian street vendor adds little to the act. The singing is excellent, but they should work out a way to introduce their songs more smoothly.
