A little music, Now and Then
We don't have ads on this blog I'm not criticizing blogs that post ads, mind you; I'm merely observing that we don't and I don't take up your valuable reading time by pitching products at you nonstop. Oh, sure, on occasion I'll mention a coffee I enjoy drinking or a great book that I've read, but I don't get a kickback if you run over to Starbucks or Amazon and buy something. We're just friends sharing information.
Today, however, is that rare day when I hope to persuade you to spend a few bucks. Fifteen, to be precise.
My chorus, Voices in Harmony winners of a third-place bronze medal in International competition this past July 4th is announcing the release of our debut CD, entitled Now and Then.
The album features an even dozen songs performed by northern California's premier men's a cappella chorus (it says so right on the CD jacket), spanning six decades of American popular music (it says that, too).
As added bonuses, the CD includes one cut each from two exceptional quartets: Realtime, the Barbershop Harmony Society's International Quartet Champions in 2005; and Late Show, whom I predict will be International Champions sometime in the not-too-distant future. (Memo to Late Show: I accept cash.)
Here's the track list:
- Happy Together
- Beyond the Sea
- The Way We Were
- Pieces of Dreams (Little Boy Lost)
- Hey Good Lookin'
- Surfer Girl (performed by Late Show)
- There Used to Be a Ballpark Right Here
- This Is Some Lucky Day (with a guest appearance by Realtime)
- And So It Goes
- Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
- With a Little Help From My Friends (performed by Realtime)
- Diane
- Little Pal
- In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town
Sadly, as much as I love every SSTOL reader, I can't afford to buy you each your own copy of Now and Then. (Unless your name is Donna and you live in Stephen King's backyard, in which case, yours is in the mail.) The good news is that for a mere fifteen simoleons (plus a nominal shipping and handling charge), you can buy a copy your own darn self. And I highly recommend that you do.
So skedaddle on over to the Voices in Harmony order site and slap down your plastic. (While you're there, you can listen to some enticing preview tracks from the album.)
Tell 'em your Uncle Swan sent you, and our ace fulfillment staff will... I don't know... wave a lightsaber over your CD before they mail it. Or something. Who cares? Just go buy one. You'll be gloriously ecstatic that you did. (We will, too.)
And may the Force be with you.

1 insisted on sticking two cents in:
The jacket cover of the CD had me sold; you know it's my favorite brige! As I scrolled down through your post, I thought, now that's a CD I've got to buy. Then I read further and the thought was interrupted by what I read. Hey, is the copy autographed by my favorite writer? I think the Eagles' "Long Road out of Eden" will have to go back in its CD jacket so I can slip VIH's CD in my car's CD deck.
