Want to See an Old Show?

Here is a crumpled old show list template for the "Spring & Easter" concert season from the early days. (It is Chuck's handwriting.)

Those shows were LONG! Combined with all the Sunday night practices, it was a crucible, burning our performances deep into our muscle memory; I'll bet we could still perform some of these songs right this minute if asked.

This lets you know the early covers we used to do, like "Mirror" and "Isaiah 60". You can also see that we never got recordings for some of our originals listed. We were going out every weekend, just about. Note that "Nobody Else" was always the 'encore'.

And here is a letter and some pictures from a Christmas show we did for St. Brigid's parish in Lexington. We used to do carols and the Twelve Days of Christmas with placards. EVERY Christmas we did these shows for so many years! This is a very thoughtful, heartfelt note.

Notice how Chuck and Jim were addressed in this letter, serving as our guys 'out front', booking all the shows. That let the band, dancers and drama concentrate on our practice preparation. Notice how the equipment boxes were used for risers. Be on the lookout for more memorabilia!

Peace & Love & JOY,

Mark LaJOIE!
