| Jan. 31, 2011 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Bravo, Maestro Tater and a hearty Amen! We need to get together and sing it for everyone. I sing lead or second tenor in our choir. Hey, I actually penned a little ditty about Bible Study to the tune of "Elvira" and actually got our our church choir to sing it in an a.m. service along with a quartet out front leading the way. I think Ridge should let us sing it at the nationals in Dalton! |
| Jan. 31, 2011 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | Southpaw, didn't someone have the smarts to put that memorable occasion on YouTube? I'd sure love to see it. Reminds me of the time I formed and sang bass with the Bluewood Brothers Quartet. One performance only. All of us dressed in blue blazers. Non-piano playing player at the piano practiced and did some warm-up riffs. I had the sound man alter my mike so I spoke in a real deep voice to introduce the group. And we blew the ceiling off that Sunday evening! Were asked for an encore and sang another gospel tune as well. The time-consuming thing was Saturday practice where we worked three hours to lip-synch to two Blackwood Brothers numbers, Great fun...but before YouTube. |
| Jan. 31, 2011 Tater50 Men's 60 336 posts | Omar: Blackwoods; Statesman; Rambos; Goodmans; Good old Gospel Music. Ever hear of the Fairfield Four? They were at the aft end of the Movie, O Brother Where Art Thou; dressed in overalls. Good vocals; awesome!! Tater50 PS Steve: we will have to get together @ BHam & crank up some old gospel tunes; give me an eeeeee & we can chat about the ones that you know. |
| Jan. 31, 2011 hayden Men's 65 21 posts | That was great. It helps us to remember what Senior Softball is all about. Being able to still play this game. We all have aged differently some have had accidents where we don't have full use of some body parts but we still play this game we love. We all can't be Major plus players |
| Jan. 31, 2011 FOFO Men's 60 284 posts | I have to admit,when I sangg the line about the position thread, I felt a little guilty, but by the time I sang, "A CR TAKES MY PLAAAAAAACCCCCCEEEE!!!!" I was glad my thread resulted in a possible #1 smash hit. Now if I can only figure out how to get it on my IPOD. " |
| Jan. 31, 2011 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | Tater, I know and have records of all those groups except the Fairfield Four. I'll have to view the film and watch for them. Not much gospel music out in California, especially quartets. |
| Feb. 1, 2011 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Tater, when will you be in Bham? You bring it, we will sing it! Omar, I think it was recorded and is probably on our church website, not totally sure though. I will have to check with our our music minister about that. We had about 70 in the choir that morning and in the grand finaly we all donned sunglasses with our choir robes. FoFo, it was indeed a serendipitous moment--inspiration when we do not even know it. |
| Feb. 1, 2011 Tater50 Men's 60 336 posts | BHam; here I come!! Steve: Print out the words & practice; I can sing any part; we will get together & crank this one out. Guys bring your recording devices cause I got a gut feeling that this is going to be a smash!! We may need a CR to run for refreshments & a box of chicken between stanzas!! Omar: Fairfield Four; Old guys that have sang together for years; most of the time they sing acapello. Tater50 |
