It was an honor being on stage under the direction of Dr. Greg Lyne for this performance. I still remember the passion delivering this classic to a fabulous audience.
still get goose bumps after all this time....nothing like singing at gold levels for 13 years!
I sang for Greg for two years back in 1999 and 2000. Greg is not only a musical geinus but a teaching geinus as well! Without a doubt one of the best! OMG I miss singing for him!
I had the privilege of singing in the Whittier Choralaires under Earl Moon in the 1970's. This group and performance brought me right back to those days. Outstanding performance!
This is beyond magnificent...it is transcendent. Has totally reawakened my feelings of compassion for my fellow human beings.
The best MOH of all time.......and Greg is always a CLINIC on how to direct. None compare.
There are 4 up there that are dressed alike. Nightlife - '96 Champs, who were drawn to sing first. They had the option to sing with us, rush back stage for their finals set (this was just PART of a 15 minute set) as soon as we cleared the stage, OR they could play it safe and not sing with us. Since they were only the 2nd quartet (at that time) to win their gold the same year their home chorus did (Louisville and Bluegrass Student Union doing it in '78 in Cincinnati), they wisely chose to sing!
Lyrics:
They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When their was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always their right on the job
They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"
It was "Al" all the time
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked swell
Full of that Yankee-Doodly-dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Oh, say, don't you remember, they called me "Al"
It was "Al" all the time
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime
Dr Greg Lyne was not only the director, he was the Piper Man. Find th e poem by Joe Plamquist. It was perfect
Hey
hahaha totally agree!!! lol
That would be the Toronto Northern Lights dressing up as bums and such. They actually spent a day on the streets of Toronto begging for money to get in character.
there is something disconcertingly discongruous about the attire and the topic of the song
