Clay, unbelievably hilarious post on the "Gizoogle." I would pay good money to hear Copeland say that one time in my life. And on another note,
Choir beware. The strong and steady path of World Baritone Domination has begun. Under the orders of our incomparable leader, Dr. Copeland, (yes, he sang baritone in the "Messiah,") our colonization has commenced. First, it was the move from the back row to the third row. Then, it was a lateral move to the Western Hemisphere with New Baritoneland. Keith, Clay and I have firmly established ourselves on this side of the choir, even assimilating with some of the natives, (singing second tenor in places.) Yes, I know, diminishing ourselves by mixing with the commoners, but hey, even the angels mixed with the humans. I read it, in the Bible. So, rest of the choir, be forewarned. It is only a matter of time. It starts with a humming of your part and hearing the bass and baritone parts of the chord, then comes the mourning for our departed brethren Kevin, who though he is gone, his vibrato will always, ALWAYS be with us (Martin ;-) And then, pretty soon, you find yourself singing the fifth of every chord and being asked to show the second tenors how their part is REALLY supposed to sound. In closing, Baritonia (Martin, Evan, Chris, Jason and Luke) and New Baritoneland will be imposing their will on the rest of the choir, and you will be fortunate enough to take part in it. You're welcome.

hmm... barely-tones would be nothing without the taco-bell eating basses. Even if maggie likes to scream about how she knows exacly what her baby a.k.a. andrew eats... ick!
Charles. i mean, Daniel Webster! I'm so happy you are keeper of the pitch! That's wonderful. Being a baritone you certainly deserve it.
I expect great little voices to be heard all over the schools when you go in to teach your first graders. Bring those kids into "Baritonia" - and and make sure you video for all of us glass breaking vocalists ;-)
