Thread Name: Mitchell Trio Songbook?
Subject: RE: Mitchell Trio Song Book?
Didn't one member of the Chad Mitchell Trio become an Episcopalian priest? I looked around and couldn't find anything to verify that. I did find an interesting history of the group at All-Music Guide (click) but didn't find anything about the priest bit.
It is rumored that one of our Mudcatters knows everything there is to be known about Episcopalian priests. Maybe she'll enlighten us.
Chad Mitchell himself recorded one so-so CD, Virgo Moon, in 1991. Sometime along the way, he became Entertainment Director for the Delta Queen riverboat company in Louisiana.
Oh, here is - Joe Frazier became an Episcopalian priest and was assigned to a parish in California. The trio got its start with the Jesuits - original members Mitchell, Mike Kobluk, and Mike Pugh were members of the glee club at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington; and a priest helped them get their first booking in New York.
