My orchestra is going to be going with the SFGMC to the GALA choruses festival in Miami this July, which I imagine your Heartland Gay Men's Chorus will be attending. I'll try to make sure I go to their concert.
Upon looking for your requested audio clips that include me, I have now concluded that the "Who Will Come" clip probably isn't my orchestra after all. We played it with the SFGMC the year before last, but it looks like the SFGMC recorded it in 2000 with some other orchestra, and that's the clip.
You can, however, listen for me in the clips for the "Divas' Revenge" CD (or buy the whole CD!) on the SFGMC website. Go to their audio player page, select the Divas' Revenge CD, which is the one directly below the one in the upper left hand corner (insert caddy web design gripe here). My orchestra is playing in all the operatic tracks - Polovatsian Dances, Toreador's Song, Pilgrims' Chorus, Humming Chorus, and Nessun Dorma. The bonus track - Overture to Nabucco - is just my orchestra without the chorus. While you are there, you should also listen to the clip of "I Know Where I've Been" because that's sung by an awesome SFGMC soloist named Cecil, whose live performance totally knocked my socks off. He's great.
Keep an eye out for the very soon to be released "USS Metaphor" DVD (which reportedly features a clear shot of me in the opening moment of the DVD. It's a really fun adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan's "HMS Pinafore" - switching a few genders around and creating a a modern social satire about gay marriage and "don't ask don't tell." Last year's performance at Davies was filmed for the DVD. We performed it twice more last weekend for the DVD release, and will be playing it in Miami at the GALA choruses festival, hoping to wow, and thus sell DVDs to, the guys in your gay chorus (among others).
