I can't recall noticing other than sporadic
references to the keys in which the Guard trio
performed some of my favorite songs - has anyone
taken the time to go through the approximately
135 songs they recorded (some more than once, in
different keys, with different lead voices - e.g.
Shenandoah) and make a note of which key it's in
(A440)? This bit of minor scholarship might
deserve preservation at Jerry Kergan's site,
don't you think?
Here's how far I got before I ran out of time
(sequenced by LP sequence, but using Bear CDs
rather than LPs) - please send me corrections
where appropriate.
