SING FOR YOUR SUPPER, OR...
During the summer and idle time, I started watching Charles Osgood and the CBS Sunday Morning show. It comes on far too early for me here, so I have been taping it. Today’s show included a segment on a cappella (no musical accompaniment, Amy) singing on college campuses. It started at Yale University eons ago with a group called The Whiffenpoofs, who sang for drinks in a bar. They may have been the original karaoke kids.
Must admit that I enjoy the harmonies. I might lobby for karaoke night at work if we could get music as good as some of that sounded.
