I checked your blog before I checked my email. Yeah, the headline alone absolutely shocked me. Not as bad as when I saw “Jason Waldroup leaves Greater Vision,” but I was surprised.

After reading their letter, I’m reminded of Roger leaving the Cathedrals for probably similar reasons back in ‘86. I certainly wish Tim well.

It seems a little bit “classier” to me (not sure that’s the right word, though) when a group is able to announce such changes themselves like this, rather than rumor beating them to it. I’m glad to hear statements like Scott and Gerald were able to make.

I surprised you? How?

Was it just that the story surprised you? Was it that I’d post the story? Or was it something I said?

You surprised me again. That’s going to be tough for the group, I’m sure. I hope they’re able to reach a stable lineup again soon. Although a year and a half isn’t bad compared to a lot of groups!

Before Roger’s passing, L5 had never changed anything but tenor singers. With a 9-year-old group, it is pretty amazing. Is it any coincidence that they and GV, the two top groups (in my mind), have had among the most stable lineups?
