Manly Men's Chorus Extravaganza
Kurt Knecht
Hilarious! Familiar melodies, such as Verdi's La
Donna e Mobile, are given new words to fit the
egos of each voice part—arrogant Tenors sing
louder when the pitch gets sour; Bassos revolt
if asked to sing another "dip-dip-dip-dip-dah."
This comic feature will bring down the house!
