Music
I will be posting on this page some of the music that I have enjoyed performing along with that of friends and those who give me their permission.

The school year of 1994-1995 was very fun, choir-wise. we performed some great jazz songs (see Blue Skies and Come Home), a jazzed-up vocal version of Bach’s Organ Fugue, and some high-energy crowd pleasers (Bridge Over Troubled Water, Steal Away, and Betelehemu).
Here are the songs:

I have enjoyed, quite geekily, listening to recordings of the choirs I’ve been in over the years. This particular year was my sophomore year and we had traveled to Washington, DC and performed at the US Naval Academy Chapel in Annapolis, MD and the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. We recorded some of the songs to have them as a keepsake of what we had done on this trip.
This was originally a cassette tape, because we didn’t have CD’s made back then. In the last few years, I’ve been working on digitizing my old cassettes and saving them to CD. This is the culmination of that, enabling the sharing of these files with others that may, like me, feel nostalgic about the songs and the other people in the choir that we bonded with.
I forgot to mention that I sang 1st Soprano in the Concert Choir that year. I was not in Vocal Jazz, the group that performed the last four songs in this list. They rocked, but we rocked more in the next two years. I’ll be posting those soon.
