In the group pic I had just returned from my second Liederabend at the Ruefasaal. The pic is taken in the lobby of the Heim. I am wearing my newly acquired Janker (Tyrolean style jacket) for the first time. Dennis and Penny Johnson on the left and one of the faculty voice teachers, Barbara Steinhaus, on the right.

The other pic is taken on the following evening, during the intermission of the Meistersinger concert, in the lobby of the Helmut List Saal. Opera coach/pianist Darryl Cooper and I are both in our Jankerian splendour. His student would go on to win first prize by the end of the evening. Darryl lent his two hands to the Schubert piano duet we performed at the beginning of the summer.
