She just sneaks into the sound studio in slacks and sits in a corner, or else gets up and prowls around, talking to the musicians, trying to play the horns, full of chater and curiosity until we're ready to go. The she bears down. Eartha is very expressive physically when she sings. This makes a lot of green notes in the background. The musicians can't watch her and the music at the same time'. "
