Audio
In 1969, Mr. Walter Gonet, WG Records, Holyoke MA, made a stereo record of the 1969 Spartanum Spectaculum show, featuring many of our classmates. Most of the music was arranged by Mr. Roy Grundstrom (ELHS 1964). A Taste of Honey was arranged by Mr. Robert Isernio, a local musician and You Were on My Mind by classmate Steve St. Marie.
We've uploaded to youtube.com all but one track (Side Two, Track 4), which we are working on fixing. You'll hear some minor surface noise in the background, but it doesn't detract much from the beautiful sound. We hope these tracks bring back some fond memories!
Note: you can see the actual lyrics that were sung (except those on Legs), by clicking on the downward pointing chevron symbol in the youtube.com box describing the video.
