So I came across a box of old cassettes and found a blast from the past. When I was a junior at Thunderbird High School in Phoenix, Arizona, I finally let Kim Murphy and Michelle Rosmann, with whom I shared Mr. Siweks’ junior English class, coax me into joining choir for my senior year. I’m glad I did. I still spent most of the year scared to death and painfully shy, but the one redeeming event that made up for all I let get by me was my decision to sing bass with Mike Dougall (2nd tenor), Harry Sokol (baritone) and Gary Mau(er) (1st tenor) in a quartet between choirs at the last concert of 1982. We called ourselves The Interludes and I had a blast. Since then Mike has gone on to a career in broadcasting, I’ve lost touch with Harry and have no idea what he’s up to and Gary has gone on to a very successful performing career including appearances on Broadway. I decided to take some time to clean up the audio as best I could and share it. This is the first one. I’ll get the others up in coming days. You’ll have to forgive the quality of the recordings. As I said, this was 1982 and we were recorded by somebody’s Dad using one of those old condenser mic tape recorders sitting on the fold out table on his seat in the auditorium. Hope you enjoy it.
