Thanks for the note. I agree, the Four Freshmen were the greatest. I am 61 and had a quartet in College in the 50's. We tried to sing some Freshmen songs, but could not put together any arrangements except for Mood Indigo -- this is not to say we could have sounded like them even if we had the arrangements. Their harmony was so close -- a hint from being discordant. I have gradually found and put together a collection of about about 15 or so of their old LP albums from that era. As you may know, there is now a new group (under the guidance of Bob Flannigan?) and I have found one CD they made. It is good, but doesn't have the old magic -- especially when you had a chance to see them in person and hear them play their own accompaniment -- or hear that record they made on tour with June Christy and Stan Kenton. "Fantastic" is too mild, isn't it. I thought I one of the few fans in the world. Glad to know I am not alone. Thanks for your note. PettifogJS (Jack Stanfield, Laramie, Wyoming)
