I Only Want a Playlist – Not A Sweetheart

Four young women, Nan Wyn in a white gown smiling and singing and the Three Symphonettes in darker gowns with smiles watching Nan sing her verse. All the young women are wearing flower ornaments on their gowns and the Symphonettes have flowers in their hair.
Nan + Three Syphonettes = Four pretty songbirds. It’s basic arithmetic.
