Long before there were musical intruments, the voice was all one needed to convey a melody. This week and next, we'll be sending the band home and listening to the simple unaccompanied voice. We’ll hear songs from Windborne, Finest Kind, Elizabeth LaPrelle Stan Rogers, Michael Cooney and many more. Celebrating vox humana … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
