Lucienne Byrne of Ramapo Valley Chorus and Rich Pearson, the NJ CASA
representative, were both with me in The Harmony Network Studios when we got the
call that Roger Payne had moved on to that A Cappella Choir in the Sky.
We immediately scrambled for all the Roger Payne arrangements in our library, as
well as songs featuring Roger with Reveille, 4 Under Par, and The Big Apple
Chorus.
