begin the year by breathing out...

Huh?

Okay I think I finally figured this one out there was a lot of confusion but we are back on track. This and the title may be the only way to get some sort of attention...

Here we are Horace Mann singing Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord. Than the Denver City Wide Choir with Jill Sobule on Bass Guitar and Jill Fredricksen on drums, followed by Lucretia Macevil. It's funny how young these performers are and what little they understand with some of these songs...

or she could be fooling around...

Spring is coming.

I have nothing to say about this noise other than I think that Britney Spears is going insane. I'm just putting it out there. Thats all I'm saying.

What in the world?! There is a barrier between all of us. The emotional callousness deepens. It can be sad really. I don't think that is what I think this post is all about though. It's about my need to pull it all together. Just for the fun of it.

Let's roar into the new year with a little Wagner! Played by the brave and stout Nebraska High School State Clinic Band. There is also an acid drop, war dance and then a wonderful leap into the new year!

This is the reason for this cast. First we hear the intro.. I'm not sure what it means. Going blind here. Second it's the Euclid Jr. High School Stage Band in 1968 playing the theme from "A Summer Place". The remix then an original from the mid 90's.. Trombone quartet all improv... Then in an incoherent conclusion we feel Dry Heat Merisa Bissinger on flute, uke. Rick Benjamin-Tebelau on drum, uke... Goodbye ol' Summer....

The Carly Simon hit sung by the Viking Singers from Oberon Jr. High in 1976.

The first chapter is Captain & Tennille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" played with enthusiasm by the Oberon Junior High Stage Band in 1976. The bridge reminds me of a 70's era detective show music, like the themes of Cannon or Barnaby Jones. This song was a world wide hit the year before and the kids know this song and they like this arrangement. This is public school arts and music at its best! Next we have "Zen project #1". More 3 Voices fun, you will find a video of it here on YouTube. And an improved arrangement of "Georgy Girl" and that will be it for that.

Can you understand? I can't. This is a pure cut up.

Two for one. The first is "Love is a Many Splendored Thing" unknown choir. Next "Scaramouch, Symphony No. 3" played by the Longmont High School Bands 76-77. It's been so long, I know. Sorry to all one or two of you! HA! Well here it is a performance by two very different groups. The photo is by Lauri Lynnxe Murphy

First, I'd like to apologize for not posting in awhile. Events over took me. I'm still here. I have here four groups. 'The Morning After' sung by the Viking Singers of Oberon Junior High School, 'American Jazz Mass' the Elgin High School Sr. A Capella Choir. 'Pink Panther' by Euclid Junior High Band. 'Milestones' Green Mtn. High Jazz Band Spectrum. This is a New Year blow out.

From St. Augustine's Prayer Book, the first prayer is read. The Elgin High School Senior A Cappella Choir, directed by Charles H. Beckman will present from their album "European Tour-April 1971" the selection "American Jazz Mass Kyrie-Gloria-Sanctus and Benedictus" acc by jazz combo: tpt: Jeff Taylor, alto sax: George Schneider, bari sax: Richard Robertson, bs: Cris Gudeman, drums: Mike Miqueion. The choir will end abruptly, the prayer will return "corrected". It's strange how the choir ends. At least it's at a phrase ending.

I'm a week behind!  That means double duty at the Fortress... Imagine a choir after the storm! Oberon Junior High School. The Viking Singers.

Yes... Yes it's crazy I know. It'll make sense to you when you just think about how slow things get and the word is always: yes.

Here is another old recording from the 90's with artist David Brady.

This was recorded by a TEAC 4 track about 10 years ago.

This is something that would frighten Quasimoto! Mahler and the relentless sound of trombones in heaven. Calling your name. I'm trying to correct this too!! It's now in mp3...
