In High School-A Capella 1971-72

I tried out to be in A Capella and made it. Our instructor was a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and I felt a good teacher for the time. I had little if any music experience and could not read music except for slow recognition tricks taught by a teacher who tried to teach me piano - but I failed. I loved Choir. It was a pleasure to practice and to perform. I was able to perform in the famed Salt Lake Tabernacle for the first time at Christmas 1971. I also got the opportunity to practice with Maurice Abravanel and his assistant Ardean Watts. I would have performed but I arrived back to Salt Lake late from a debate meet, and don't think I got to the perfomance. Ah the choices we make!
