Pentatonix

November 10, 2016November 14, 2016 Jo Tango

It was a long day yesterday, but I’m glad a sub-group of our family last night went to see the Pentatonix perform (three videos up top, or here). They’re a mainstream a cappella group, that does pop, R&B and soul. TD Garden was absolutely packed. It’s amazing how five people, with no musical instruments, can

Rest in Peace: JoJo David

October 28, 2016October 28, 2016 Jo Tango

Today, Mrs. T. and I went to JoJo David’s funeral. He was the music director at our parish and also was part of Campus Ministry at Boston College. An article about him that appeared in the Boston College press is here. I like that they interviewed people about JoJo’s impact on them. The Church was

4th of July Wishes

Two piano players take requests from the audience and play, sing, and joke with the crowd. Country, 1950s, rock, disco. Anything. I asked for the 20-minute version of “Free Bird”

The Cello

April 14, 2016March 22, 2018 Jo Tango

I’ve had a long love affair with the cello. I still remember the day we first met. I was at the now-defunct Tower Records in Back Bay. In those days, you listened to music on CDs. And, there were stores that sold them. Tower Records had kiosks at which you could listen to sample tracks through

‘I Am Glad’

March 13, 2016September 4, 2016 Jo Tango

Yes, I’m a very proud father. And, here’s some beautiful music. Three of our children sing in a cappella groups. Two of them, who are of age, competed in a state music competition. Both made it to the All-State Chorus. They spent two evenings in Boston with other high school students, who also made it. They
