The BEST Jimmy Darren record! From 1959 - you never hear this one anymore. Many many thanks for posting this classic.

Please post in its entirety Jeanne Hayes' "Throwing the High School Basketball Game" - was always my favorite! Thanks -

In summer '69 I went to a supper club on Wisc Ave in Wash DC & heard Lou sing (he'd just come out w/I'm Gonna Make You Mine, 1st hit in ages). At intermission I told him I was a fan & that 1 of my faves was his obscure "Big Time" - he didn't think anyone actually remembered it but said he liked ...

In the summer of '66 Teddy & the Pandas played at a small private party at Benjamin Hill Ski Area in Shirley, Mass - they had already hit big with Once Upon a Time & We Can't Go On This Way (Moulty & the Barbarians were originally scheduled to do the party but a drug bust prohibited them from pe...

Interesting comments re "not seeing a tornado" & "why are people still at KFC" etc. Wedge tornadoes r often too big 2 recognize, espec when they approach quickly & look like severe thunderstorms/squall lines, which we've ALL encountered. Trees/rain/rapid darkness just amplify the adrenalin confus...

@mortondavid - composer is Charles Villiers Stanford

The McFarlane brings back fond memories! The version of Christ Our Passover we most often sang was by Horatio Parker - have searched high and low and no one seems to know it! Christ Church Fitchburg Mass did the Parker more than any other version, back when they had a renowned Men & Boy's Choir. ...

Episcopalians know this tune as "Newman" (by Richard Runciman Terry, 1912) - "Praise to the Holiest in the height".

Admirable rendition of the Goodson chant & prob not easy for 4 solitary voices But the problem is 1) for this quartet it should be transposed to Bflat - more comfortable range for these particular voices; 2) MOST IMPORTANTLY, this is way too slow as to be unbearable! Anglican chant is mere good r...

This IS the proper tempo. Great job!

Best recording I've ever heard was Mormon Tabernacle Choir's from late 50s or early 60s (will have to look at the album).

hey Austreneland, if u get into Brown, try St Stephens - it's on edge of Brown campus. High church, they do all the Tudor/early renaissance latin masses, 20th cent cathedral stuff, 4-part Anglican chant every week etc

@Anticyclonic Is the Worcester Tornado footage you have the one taken in Southborough as the barn collapses over the filmer's head? (the Ray Davis film). Or is it the one taken from Rtes 9/20 at Northborough/Shrewsbury line? (the Resch film) - would be curious to see the latter - I have 2 stills...

Excellent! we sang the Murrill at several evensongs in Providence back in 80s & 90s (Grace Episcopal under Jim Morgan & S.Stephen's under James Busby.) Classic mid-20th century English cathedral music, seldom sung in churches anymore (sigh)... you guys were excellent!

nice to finally hear this piece! you guys did a great job! We used this at various evensongs in Providence back in 80s & 90s (Grace Episcopal & S.Stephens) - excellent music that is seldom sung in church anymore. Kudos ~

Westfield, W.Springfield, Springfield & Chicopee all had tornadoes 50 yrs to the day earlier, 6/01/56! Worst was Westfield & Chicopee. Moved NE across Mass and dropped another tornado (F1) in Fitchburg, w/14 injured at circus - I was in the vortex: a finger extended from black roiling clouds; as ...
