Sweet the Sound is:

Elizabeth Myer Boulton, who puts the "oprah" in "soprano," is Minister of Discipleship at Old South Church in Boston, MA, and could preach her way out of Alcatraz.

Matthew Myer Boulton, Director, who puts the "or" in "tenor," loves cats and apple pie.

Neil Helme, who doesn't put the "ass" in "stand-up bass" but certainly does kick it, hails from Baltimore and has been seen playing in the renowned Boston bluegrass trio, the Spring Hill Rounders.

David Hutto, who puts the "git" in "guitar," hails from Iowa and sings just about the best bass line you'll ever hear.

Belva Brown Jordan now puts the "home" in "Oklahoma," but she's a lifelong member of STS all the same.

Lorraine Stanfield, who puts us all in a trance every time we hear her sing, is a doctor and teacher whose voice is guaranteed to cure what ails you.
