Young Church Singers
OK - I am REALLY "dating" myself now.....
As a student at Baylor University, I had the joy and privilege of being in a contracted studio session recording group - hired by WORD Music (located at that time in Waco, Texas) to record about once a month on a Saturday in Dallas, Texas.
The leader and person who formed/hired (and named) this group was Charles F. Brown. At that time, he was Senior Editor in charge of all choral works published by WORD Music, and he needed an quick and inexpensive way to record his choral demonstration recordings.
So, he hired a bunch of college students, and called us the "Young Church Singers."
Not highly original, but heck 30+ years ago, we thought it was pretty cool!
This group was really good - (I still am not sure how I got in, but it sure was fun -and hard work!)
I am guessing this photo was taken sometime around 1975 or 1976.
Oh to be a college student again and earn $75 on a Saturday, hanging out with good friends and making good music!
(The first person to identify me in the photo gets a free recording of the Young Church Singers - HA HA!!)

I have to go with the majority on this one, though my 2nd choice is top row, far left (red shirt).
I had fun singing on a David Clydesdale demo for the collection called "Praise Be." This was with the choir from my college church in Knoxville. We took school buses from Knoxville and recorded at Bradley's Barn in Mt. Juliet, and because I hadn't practiced much with them, I used it as an excuse to sit in the control room on a couple of songs. Fun stuff!
