The Yale Whiffenpoofs

AIR DATE: March 5, 2010
LISTEN TO M3U | DOWNLOAD MP3

We hear the sounds of Yale University's 100-plus year old a cappella group the "Whiffenpoofs." Four "Whiffs" join us to talk about their musical stylings and how they turn pop songs and classics into a cappella gold. We also discuss the rich tradition behind a cappella at Yale and how that tradition has come do define a way of life at the school.

Guests:
Sam Hafer, World Tour Manager
Michael Lavigne, Business Manager
Jerry Lieblish, Emcee (known as the Ham in the Whiffs)
Keiji Ishiguri, Pitch-pipe
