Cernettes sing about their men stuck on night shifts at CERN

I watched their last concert via streaming - SO WONDERFUL!! I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA and have always loved Do-Wop but to see people from CERN doing it so very well shows that they get it. I hope they continue but if the realities of life prevent that, I would love to see (& pay for) a VD(s) with their performances which one can see on UTube but, of course, only on line. I want to put a DVD in and watch/listen to it on my home entertainment system at house parties. Bring the Cernettes to the living rooms of he world!!
and….who sung for the boyfriends when the Cernettes were on shift?
