Ahhhh!! I finally gave my house a thorough cleaning for the first time since Christmas. And there's not even anybody coming. Oh well. I like it clean for me too. Dick was hanging some pictures for me and other stuff, and in the process of going out to his shed for something, he found an old cassette tape player. It needed to have head phones, but he connected it to the TV. Did we ever have fun listening to some old cassettes. We listened to our WEDDING!!! My wedding singers were friends from Choraleers, the youth chorus I belonged to. Wow, they were really good! Here they are, singing at our reception along with director Arnold Moshier and his wife. October 2, 1971.
We also listened to a very poor quality tape of The Freedom Singers, the group we had in the 80's. This poor picture isn't great to start with, and then someone even wrote on it, but I love it. This is where we practiced at our house every Thursday evening. Bass player Don always sat on the step, I was always at the organ, Dick on the guitar, his brother Steve behind me, and at the time this was taken, a girl named Nancy was in the group.
And then we jumped ahead to the nineties and listened to the Skankin' Buvas!!! They were a great bunch of guys that Jeremy sang with when he was in high school. Their genre of music was Ska. Here they were playing at Jeremy's 18th birthday party. Jeremy is on the far left. That was a such a fun night.

Sounds like a great day!
What fun to be able to look back and remember, but then to actually hear the singing too!
Fun, fun, fun!!! Neat way to make a cleaning day a whole lot better =)
I recall hearing the Choraleers when I was a young girl living in the state of Delaware in the early '70's. We met up with Arnold & Maietta on the beach in Sarasota a few years back and chatted briefly (Maietta's brother was our pastor here in Hilliard, OH for a number of years.) Makes me want to look back through my parents' albums to see if we have any recordings.
