Trip Out East Day Seven - 1979


Friday, June 15

We will travel to Warren, Pennsylvania, home of the Maurers. We well give a joint concert with the Floyd Williams Jazz Trio and spend the night in homes.

Journal: "The whole time so far today has been traveling. We had lunch at Mcdonald's. We are in Pennsylvania but not yet at the Maurers. We got to the Maurers and we had dinner there. Our concert was really good, we got a standing ovation and most of the choir thought it was our best concert the whole season."

Trip Out East Day Two - June 1979

Sunday, June 10

Arrive at Old First Reformed United Church of Christ, 4th and Race Streets, Philadelphia, at 9:00 a.m. - We will sing at the 11:00 a.m. service - The afternoon will be spent sight-seeing - We will sleep in the church.

Journal: "We slept on the bus last night. It was awful. I was on the floor, I couldn't turn, and I had to sleep on my stomach. We are in Pennsylvania now. We have to miss the service because we lost time last night and can't make it. It's about 10:00 right now. Most kids are dying of hunger. A lot of kids are sick too. Another kid threw up. Me and Nick Hall just played cards all this morning. We stopped at Howard Johnsons to eat. Jeff barfed. Not over the food, he was just sick. We still haven't made it to Philadelphia yet."
