 RARB Review of The Yale Spizzwinks(?) - Simply Put
But over the years, groups like The Spizzwinks(?) (and the Penn Glee Club) have found it difficult to sustain audience interest purely with ancient standards, and indeed such materials gets to be a bit boring for the members, too.
The danger of moving to a broader, more hip cross-section of music, of course, is that groups like these tend to recruit "trained" singers, with lovely, rounded tones that perhaps aren't always well-suited to top 40 selections.
A few of the tracks were recorded live, which doesn't necessarily pose a problem with this glee club performance style (think no percussion besides snaps and claps).
