DESCRIPTION:
This is something every Jan Peerce fan—and every ardent fan of great singing and great singers will want to hear. This is the great American tenor Jan Peerce, in California in 1977, running scales, all the way up to D natural and joking about trying for an Eb (I about fell out of my chair:-). All followed by bits and pieces of many, many of his favorite arias and songs. This is an absolutely unique tape. There are no others, on Youtube or anywhere else. This was made by my friend Steve at Shicoff 1, who was a good friend of both Jan Peerce and Richard Tucker. Steve made this tape himself, on a cassette recorder, 37 years ago. This is an absolute personal treasure of Steve's, and it is a very generous gesture on his part to permit me to put this on Youtube, where many, many people can share some private, personal moments with one of America's greatest musical talents. This is historical treasure! Thank you STEVE!
