PARRY SOUND — The spring performance of Men of the Sound choir delighted a standing-room only audience on Saturday, June 8, with a wide range of songs that included guest artists from the community. From foot stomping’ "Hunker Down" to a gentle rendition of "Over the Rainbow" with students from Parry Sound Public School, the performers demonstrated gusto and versatility. The audience joined in the grand finale, "You’ll Never Walk Alone," which could serve as the choir’s theme song.
