Valley Harmony at newark Valley Alumni Concert 2012

Three of the Valley Harmony performed at the NV Alumni Concert, October 20, 2012. Mike Sheldon, Eric Larsen, and Randy Kerr performed two pieces. In the first part of the concert they did "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" which has proven to be a crowd favorite where ever performed with the recognizable tune, moving melody, and building of harmonies. In the second part of the show they performed an audience participation rendition of "Run-Around Sue." The audience sang the driving "do-wop"-type beat, added the syncopated claps, and even did the bridges between verses. Don't know what that means?.... you'll just have to come to a performance and join in!
