The Banana Boat Song (Day, O!)

12 years ago today (October 18, 2003) I sang my Senior Recital at Westminster Choir College of Rider University. I was such a young tenor...and I can hear the basis of what my sound is like today in this recording. 

This Sanctus has become in a way my theme song. I have loved it ever since I first heard it as a Freshman in High School. 

I hope you enjoy listening to it.
