1990's: Tom Glover Sr. and Jr's "WINGS OF SONG!"

How I miss my "WINGS OF SONG" singers! For a while back there in the 1980's 90's while the Reverend Monsignors Jim McManimon, and Joseph Ferrante were at the helm of St. Anthony Parish in Hamilton, our talented singers were assigned the task of trying to bring a younger segment of the local community in to church. It worked! For a number of years we provided the music for the Saturday afternoon 5:30 Mass. However, musical tastes change, and the new Pastor and his sidekick decided our music was not their music, and "Wings of Song" was no more! But we did make beautiful music right from the scriptures! Ask any old timer who attended those Saturday services. I am still met by folks from my years at St. Anthony who tell me how much they missed the beautiful and sacred music we sang.
