A Travesty…

From the New York Times today (click the link to read the story):

A Quiet End for Boys Choir of Harlem

Even as a choir boy from a rival group, I was able to hear this boychoir perform a few times and they were indeed a well trained choir.  They had a distinct sound and an enthusiastic following.  It always saddens me when a well known group folds and stops doing what they do.  Their fate resulted from many things but their decline began because of a sexual abuse accusation that unfortunately took away the remaining financial resources of the choir.  The same things have rocked the American Boychoir School in the past but they have managed to survive intact.  I’m not going to lay out judgement because shit happens, even to people and organizations with the best of intentions.  I know that.  I’ve lived it.  Their music will be missed.
