Vin Lucid is spending the second half of his life following a musical road-not-taken 50 years ago. A classic over-achiever, he's proud to sing with the Syracuse University Oratorio Society and the Syracuse Pops Chorus. He has been the entire tenor section of a very-good-if-I-do-say-myself church choir and occasionally a cantor in an awesome Gothic church in Fulton, NY. Vin sings in the shower (rather well) and sometimes in his sleep (rather poorly).
He plays sad love songs and classical tunes on the harmonica for nurses, receptionists, cashiers and anyone else who will listen. He writes Broadway parodies for his web-site, http://DrSpeedbump.com, as well as poetry for his Blog, http://TheAttentionDeficitCompan.com.
In 2002, undeterred by a lack of formal training in music theory, he said, "I think I'll write a Mass -- How hard can it be?" The choral score of St. Cecelia's Mass of Hope can be found here. Is it any good? Download the score, listen to the MIDIs and MP3s, judge for yourself -- and please, please leave a comment for Vin.
Guitar; harmonica; tin whistle; voice range from a breathy B2 to a falsetto S2 --- prefers 1st tenor.
