There are times that I put my job at risk when blogging. Be that as it may, I feel that I have a journalistic responsibility, nay, an obligation to share these archived photos with my faithful readers. Just think, at one point Royce sang the soprano part.The picture on the right shows Royce during his rebellious years. He was really into contemporary Christian music. Wild stuff like "Blessed Assurance", "Amazing Grace", and songs written during that era. I love to listen to him tell about the times he sang revivals with Ira Sankey and played trombone in the first Salvation Army Band with William and Catherine Booth. It really is amazing how far he has come!

Hey, I have these two photos and a bunch more, too. I even have an old home movie of Royce when he was 6 years old, doing similar moves to what you guys do during "Contagious".

Neva, what do I have to do to get a copy of that video? That deserves to be shared with the world!
The old home movie is part of our old 8mm and Super 8 mm movies which are now on a CD. I don't have a clue as to how it could be lifted from the CD and "shipped" to you. Besides, I don't want to lose my relationship with my nephew. You'll just have to wait until you are back in Longmont for a concert. You may come to my house and view it!

Hi Keith
I know this post is way late, but I'm sure I ate lunch with Royce at Ashland Junior High the day that second picture was taken. He shaved that day...

old friend of Royce
Neva, I will take you up on that invitation.
Tim, anyone who can say "I was there" when it relates to Royce's past is welcome on this blog. From what I hear, Royce spent quite a bit of time shaving that upper lip. He heard that the more you shave, the more likely it is that hair will grow in that particular area. His moustache is hirstute proof to that scientific hypothesis.
Tim, I have pictures of you where the hair is so long in front you can't tell whether you're coming or going. And you can't look at the direction your tennis shoes were headed because sometimes you wore them backwards just to be cool. And by the way, it wasn't.
