In the 1974/75 academic year I sang full-time with a music group called Sound Alliance. The music was contemporary and done to music tracks. Of course, what was contemporary then is now “70’s”. And the use of tracks, although a new innovation then, would now be considered Karaoke that anyone can do!
A friend emailed me today. He was asking some questions about Sound Alliance.
The nostalgia mill whirred into high gear. There were some difficult times (one day two members were literally yelling at each other – and had one of the two not been a martial arts afficionado there might have been blows!).
But there were many more good times. This email mentioned how Sound Alliance had affected his life as he considered music and ministry. He now works as a concert pianist and administrates the touring of a world renowned operatic tenor.
That’s when you think that what you have done may have been worth it!
