Story by the Baltimore Sun: BSO’s ‘Mass’ CD has electric appeal

Sure, this is a shameless pat on the back (to myself), but hey, sometimes we’ve got to toot our own horn every once in while.

The new CD of Bernstein’s Mass, which was performed and recorded here in Baltimore at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall last October, features as the CD cover, one of my photographs. I wonder if Jubilant Sykes, the performer featured in the photo, had his hand in choosing the image to use. I say this because Jubilant called me from his California home shortly after this performance and ordered a large photograph of this same image to display in his home. Whatever the reason, I think they made a wise choice.

Just for grins, here is what the original image looked like.

I took my wife and two youngest kids for a long weekend at Bethany Beach in Delaware.  Of course I couldn’t leave my camera home.
