The relaxing downtime music made everyone call for more duets between the unlikely duo.

Novelist Michael Marshall Smith put it eloquently: “Tonight I want to go downtown and find the hidden alleyway that was never there before and descend into a smokey walk-down bar and drink cocktails made of an old teal liquor that smells of fog and tastes of cinnamon, and listen while these two play quietly in the corner forever.”
