Almost any audience larger than a twosome has an attraction for California's Governor Goodwin Jess Knight, who travels tirelessly around the state with his big right hand ready for the shake and his vocal cords for the speech.

(The absence of a bass singer is explained by the fact that real bass parts do not occur before the end of the 15th century.) Among these songs was Henry VIII's O My Herte, which showed that the King was a better master of vocal than of marital harmony...
