Also from Book 1, Chapter 5: William Hall Chorale Concert in 1961: Ralph Vaughn Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem, my favorite oratorio. Aside from the beauty of the music and the poetry, I loved it because I got to sing the baritone solos which were very dramatic. The orchestra comprised musicians from several symphony and chamber orchestras, all studio musicians and they were among the finest players in the LA area. Here are two of those solos I loved. (I was twenty-five.)

From Book 1, Chapter 5: One of my best TV Jobs in the spring of 1962 – a series pilot with Bobby Rydell (A great guy!)
