1951: WE MADE SUCH BEAUTIFUL MUSIC


I LOVED THESE GUYS! WE WERE ALL PART OF THE BOYS' GROUP WHO PERFORMED SOME OF THE MOST INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL HARMONY YOU EVER HEARD. UPPER LEFT IS LEE BELARDINO, TOP RIGHT KIETH KAUFFMAN, LOWER LEFT BILL BAGGOTT, LOWER RIGHT CLARK PERRY, AND BRINGING UP THE REAR IN THE LOWER RIGHT, YOURS TRULY, TOM GLOVER. I REPEAT. OUR VOCAL HARMONY WAS SUPERB!

I SENT A COPY OF THIS POST TO 3 OUT OF 4 OF OUR LATE, LAMENTED BOYS' QUARTET IN THE CLASS OF '51. THIS RESPONSE FROM LEE BELARDINO, AND YES, HE IS STILL SINGING. HOW WELL I REMEMBER HIS TENOR HARMONIZING WITH BILLY BAGGOTT'S!

LEE WROTE!

Tommy:
Great shots. were we ever that young? My grandaughters couldn't even recognize me. We were the best and you were the bestest.I visit your site daily. How I wish I could go to your Kuser singalongs. We had the best songs because we were the greatest generation with the greatest teacher. Incidentally,I am a member of a senior Ukelele club. There are about 30 members and we play and sing all the old favorites like Sentmental Journey,For Me and My Gal, Anytime. etc., and a lot of Hawaiin songs. We perform at nursing homes,senior park lua's, etc. I can't play too well but they accepted me for my singing .It pays to be a former Louise Baird student. Those four years at HHS in music class with her are etched in my soul for ever. Keep it up Tom because you are a constant reminder of the best times of my life.
Lee
