Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus

[edit]
  • ... that the Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus's repertoire includes folk songs, spirituals, classical and pop music, Western ballads – and rope tricks? Source: "The local concert will open with traditional classical music ... a selection of songs and ballads from the American Southwest accompanied by fancy trick rodeo roping... The concert will conclude with a selection of spirituals" (Sun-Journal); "TowneSingers perform at the holiday and pops concerts" (Arizona Daily Star)
    • ALT1:... that the first boy who joined the Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus in 1939 was singing in the alumni choir in 2009, aged 83? Source: "'I don't remember the date, but I do remember it happening,' says Pfersdorf, 83, who now sings in the alumni chorus" (Arizona Daily Star)

  • Date and length fine. I am leaning slightly towards the original because the ALT's source does have the chap saying he can't remember the date so probably best not to use that one lest the Vice squad go raiding us! QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:02, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
  • The C of E thanks for the review. Actually, the source says he doesn't remember exactly when his voice changed, but I do prefer the original hook, so I'm striking ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 19:35, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
