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.

Here is the Euclid Jr. High School Stage Band from 1968 under the direction of Craig L. Bailey. Playing the theme from the "Pink Panther"

I'm going to do something a little different this time I'm going to play you some things from my record collection. I collect public school records from different groups on vinyl, 50's, 60's, 70's and sometime stuff from the 80's. I also like getting self produced recordings from people like a local band or even a guy whom played a piano bar in Chicago. Things like that. The first recording I'm going to play for you is the 1987 Green Mountain H.S. Jazz Ensemble "Spectrum" and they will be playing Miles Davis' "Milestones". The recording for the time is excellent. The trumpet solo is a little tentative, but the drummer is a wild kid...... Kinda.

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.

Something weird. Mostly playing with the GarageBand loops. But I like the computer speech and the radio garble stuff. Crowd noises. A live show theme aspect. Like Dr. Phil or something. Sensitive. I just can't give up randomness. I'm so stuborn! Format be damned!

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...
