The Blue Saints

One of the things I brought back from Dad's, is a 1968 vintage vinyl record album, a recording of The Blue Saints, the explorer post stage band that I belonged to in the mid 60s. We had an amazing adventure during the summer of 1967, when our leader, Dr. Hugh Upton, chartered a bus, and arranged for us to tour across Canada, playing at concerts and dinner dances along the way, to Expo 67 in Montreal, where we played for several days, before returning back through the United States, with one final amazing concert to a large theater full of listeners at BYU in Provo, Utah, before we got home to the bay area. This album, even though I missed the summer of 1968 tour, has a great emotional value to me, because it's what we sounded like, and I'm so happy to have it back in my hands. Now I'm experimenting with my USB turntable and the Audacity software again, for the first time in years, as I attempt to transfer the music from the LP album to digital form, so I can listen to it on my Sonos system or iPhone.
