My dad was a member of the Phoenicians for about 20 years under Lou. I seem to recall there was another director towards the end but a lot of people left under him. I remember going to those rehearsals with him and wandering the halls while hearing them sing and then going to the shows at Grady Gammage and at 7 years old I could sit through and entire show mesmerized for almost the full 3 hours. My dad's almost 84 now and I'd love to find him a cd of the old Phoenicians.
I miss the shows. My father was in the valley of the sun chorus. I remember Bob, Les, Paul from the shows when I was 6 sitting in the front row center best voice's I have ever heard.great memory
My eternal thanks to Mike for putting his pants in the washer/dryer and shrinking them so the quartet didn't have to wear them any more. We got some mileage out of the bolo ties though. Not sure, but the swipes in Swing Low might be better here than on the album.
My father was Bob Jackson, he sang lead and is the guy with his hair parted down the middle. He passed away last thursday 6-8-2023 I grew up with the phoenicians mens choir, and all quartet music. I will always cherrish all the memories. Love you Dad. rest in peace! Rob Jackson
I see a very young me in the corner of the front row just to the left of the MC at the beginning! That show is so big that we did two consecutive weekends with MA101. I had the honor and pleasure of being their host and they presented me with a musical diploma for having successfully completed the course of Music Appreciation 101. I still have it hanging on the wall in my den. Much love Terry and rest well dear friend.
Thank you for including your families in this video. Without their support, encouragement, and understanding, no quartet excels. Congratulations, Main Street. You guys do barbershop proud.
if you see this sometime, mike, i would like to thank you for inspiring my friends and i enough to form our quartet. you, the dapper dans, main street, and everyone in the harmony society. music is amazing <3

How did I miss the organ recital this entire time?! I laughed entirely too hard at this. Love ya guys! I wish the Brian & Bob would sing for everyone again soon! I mean, we hear Mike a lot still. 😊
