Bring on the Tenors

I love to sing. I sing with a choir and cantor in church, but I realize how my voice pales listening to these young tenors. These are tenors I’d love to hear in concert.

Michael Ball – Prepare Ye the Way/Gethsemane

Mario Frangoulis – Empty Chairs at Empty Tables

Patrick Fiori with Lara Fabian – La Difference

Patrick Fiori - Juste Une Raison Encore [love the video]

Patrick Fiori – Il Parait

Josh Groban – You Raise Me Up

Anonymous said...: Another couple things, David...I see that you like in Oak Park and before that in Berwyn. I went to college at Northwestern (graduated in 1989) in Evanston and have stayed in Chicago ever since. My wife and I live in Palos Heights with our two sons. My best friend from college lives in Berwyn, having moved there about 5 years ago from Oak Park. Finally, I sing tenor in our church choir.; 10:48 AM
