THE HOLY GHOST RECEPTION COMMITTEE #9
The Under Appreciated Rock Artist for this month is Nick Freund, a Catholic priest who joined the faculty at the St. Pius X Seminary, in Galt, California (near Sacramento) where he taught for 8 years as an English teacher and headed the band and choir. He worked on choral music and an amazing acid-folk Christian album by a group called the Search Party.
Much as happened with the priest who oversaw the creation of last month’s UARB, the Holy Ghost Reception Committee #9, his students were resistant to the classical composers like Mozart and Beethoven and told him: “Father, you ought to check out a place in San Francisco called The Fillmore.”
