Clearly, my boss, Stereophile’s esteemed editor, John Atkinson, lost another bet.
Here we see him singing, furiously, at the Los Angeles and Orange County Audio Society’s 18th Annual Society Gala and Awards Banquet, held last weekend in the Grand Ballroom of the Buena Park Holiday Inn. He really hits his stride at about 40 seconds in. (Thanks to "The Audio Otaku" for capturing the magic.)
Besides JA’s cancan, there were lots of other fun and interesting things at this year's Gala: Bybee Labs’ Jack Bybee offered opening remarks; Vandersteen Audio’s Richard Vandersteen accepted the Society’s 2011 Founder’s Award; and T.H.E. Show’s Richard Beers provided information on the 2012 edition of his popular hi-fi show.
A great time was had by all. But how will next year's Gala surpass the 2011 event? Maybe JA and LAOCAS president Bob Levi will make another bet.
Are there any songs you'd like to hear JA sing?
