The Spirit Of Sing Out South

My favorite memories of the 1960s include Nashville's Sing-Out South, one of the most successful of the local singing groups created by Up With People. This blog's purpose is to build off the continuing interest in SOS and UWP, while joining with many of my Sing Out friends, now scattered across the country, to reminisce about old times and renew old acquaintances.

About Me

Pat: Nashville, Tennessee, United States; Many of my favorite memories (and I suspect of yours) are from the years 1969 to 1973 when we were together as the Centennial Class of Vanderbilt University (1973). Actually,I spent those first two years across 21st Avenue South at Peabody College when it was a separate school. I transferred over in the fall of 1971 and spent my final two years getting my B.A. degreee in the College of Arts & Science with a major in Political Science and a minor in History. My Vanderbilt experience was also different from many because I was a town student and lived at home not in a dorm. It's something I miss from my college experience but I spent a lot of time on campus, day and night, through my work at WRVU which was then located in Neely Auditorium. So please feel free to fill me (and your classmates) on your VU experience and what would you like for us to share and remember here on the blog.
