======================

Bonnie Barnett, Bonnie Auto Hum

There may still be a recording in the KPFK studio archives; for me, I’ve got this photo of proof of my very first choral participation on a live broadcast!

Program description:

The Tunnel Hum project as a whole presented by Bonnie Barnett on her y2b channel:

Repercussion Unit

John Bergamo, Jim Hildebrandt, Gregg Johnson, Ed Mann, Lucky Mosko and Larry Stein: On the Edge (Bergamo); Having Fun Yet (Stein); The Tower (Mann); Legend of the F’ish (Johnson)

Pleasures of more uncomplicated character dominated the Friday event, a jolly 55-minute appearance by the Repercussion Unit, a six-member, six-composer ensemble of the bang-clang-and-swoosh school.

As you may have heard, this is a performing group of unfailing musicality and strong entertainment values. The six players/composers--John Bergamo, Jim Hildebrandt, Gregg Johnson, Ed Mann, Lucky Mosko and Larry Stein--have fun, make music and hold their observers’ interests.

Friday, those interests were visual as well as aural and focused on some of the equipment--the large, red inflatable, for instance, which made one outstanding appearance--and many instruments.
