Meridian High Wildcats '58: Mark Killam & Chorus of Men in his Church

A Tribute and Celebration

We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.
Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

Mark Killam & Chorus of Men in his Church

(TO LISTEN, CLICK ARROW ABOVE AT TOP ON PLAYER [NEAR HYMN TITLE] TO START)

With the blessing of our worship pastor, and with the desire to try something that was not an option during my working years, a little over a year ago I recruited a group of men to sing as a chorus. We had 28 singing on Easter Sunday. Even with the Independence Day holiday affecting us this past Sunday, we had 18 singing. The attached mp3 is the familiar Wilhousky setting of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. While I have limitations as a director that show up in the recording, I’m sure having fun with a great group of godly men who sing periodically. While I know enough about music to be dangerous, one can get away with a lot as a volunteer.
