Sr. Peter Claver’s Gospel Choir
This past September, I had the opportunity to work with the amazing St. Peter Claver’s Gospel Choir from New Orleans. Thanks to Tom (the saxophonist in Track 9), we have a recording of this wonderful concert.
My Favorites:
Tracks 1 – 8 are the gospel choir. Tracks 9 – 13 are both our choir and their choir combined. Myla has a solo in Track 11. I have an out of control piano solo in Track 9. (hehehe) I forget which track off the top of my head, but there is one where I took over playing the piano in the middle of the song. It’s the track where you hear Veronica, their choir director, say “Mikey! Where are you Mikey?”
Listening to them sing makes me feel good about the world. Most of them lost their homes during the hurricane, and yet here they are persevering and making music.
RIAA Going After Children
I guess stealing candy from babies is on the RIAA’s agenda. What do you guys think? Going too far or completely justified?
