Old School

CHAPTER: Penninsulaires

This was the first show with Kipp on tenor. The show was a tribute to Nancy Sterling. Nancy is the spouse of good friend Tom Sterling who is the director of the chorus and sang in many quartets over the years. Tom is probably most remembered for his quartet Broadway. Nancy has Lou Gehrig's disease. She came to the show and we were able to sing her a song in the lobby. She requested Last Night Was The End Of The World. With Nancy sitting there listening, it was a very inspired performance and actually the first time it was sung with Kipp.

On the show was another great friend of ours, Joe Polio. We joined Joe and his wife for dinner at a very nice steak and seafood place between shows. Great food, great friends and a good barbershop show! The makings of a perfect Saturday night.

The afterglow was at a very nice little bar/restaurant type place. It was informal and we just got up and sang a few. All in all considering it was the first performance with our new tenor, it all went very well!
