You may have come across my tale of Bellamy haranguing an audience halfway through the chorus of 'Santa Fe Trail': 'Come on you BAHSTARDS, there's a wonderful harmony to this, and not one of you is getting it!'
When I used to sing it with Gordon Tyrrall, it was a matter of high principle to get that top G in the harmony. Though I had to go falsetto to bend it upwards to A, as PB liked to do.
