| This snapshot was taken in February, '09 at the "Family Guy" offices in L.A., after I sang on a "Family Guy" session. The wooden cut-outs of the "Family Guy" characters are HUGE... |

At the SAG Singers' "Meet The Composer II" event at the WGA Theater in Beverly Hills, May 4th, 2009, where we were all honoring composer Marc Shaiman. In the photo (left to right): SAG singers Dylan Gentile, Tonoccus McClain, Randy Crenshaw, John West, and Fletcher Sheridan. The event was a great success and a lovely time was had by all... |
| This is a snapshot of Randy Crenshaw on the mic in 2008 at Nelson Kole's home studio in Woodland Hills, singing for a Princess Cruises industrial session, taken by the fearless engineer, Les Brockmann. As always, RC is impeccably dressed in shorts, flip-flops, and an aloha shirt... |

Personnel (L to R): Bill New (bass vocal and bongos), Randy Crenshaw (baritone vocal), Craig Copeland (tenor vocal and electric guitar), and Danny Faragher (lead vocal and harmonica). |

Daddy Cool, rockin' the house at the Silent Valley Club, 8/22/09 |
| Randy Crenshaw and David Benson, who was the co-producer of Barry
Manilow's "Greatest Songs of the 60s" album project. This snapshot was
taken back in 2007 in the control room at Capitol Records, Studio A in
Hollywood during a break in the vocal sessions for that album. David REALLY
got into the 60s vibe, as you can tell by the John Lennon-type sunglasses
and vest he's wearing... |

After a session for Tokyo Disney Sea, probably done back around
2000. The composers were the late Buddy Baker (famous for all of his
work for Disney in the '50's and '60's) and the late Shirley Walker.
Personnel (L to R): Walt Harrah, Donna Davidson Medine, Sally Stevens, Gene
Merlino (vocal contractor), Shirley Walker (composer), Randy Crenshaw, Bob
Joyce, Melissa MacKay and Angie Jaree. |

Wow, was I EVER this young? This shot was taken in 1990, with me looking very much like John Oates of Hall & Oates, right? |
| This photo is Terra Nova, Randy Crenshaw's a cappella vocal jazz quartet, live on stage at the Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl in summer, 1986. Personnel, left to right: Bill New, bass; Gale Johnson, soprano; Barbara Bentree, alto; Randy Crenshaw, tenor (mostly obscured!)...

Here is the ultra-glamorous Terra Nova fashion photo shoot, a few months later, when we were trying to put together a Terra Nova press kit. Now we definitely look like a West Hollywood motorcycle gang! Watch out, music world... Personnel, left to right: Bill New, bass; Gale Johnson, soprano; Barbara Bentree, alto; Randy Crenshaw, tenor (and apparent Freddie Mercury wanna-be)... |
| This is an old publicity B&W photo of our barbershop quartet, taken in 1987. There's the baby-faced me at the far left, along with fellow barbershoppers (from L to R) Ken Neufeld (peeking out of the phone booth), Bill New, and Kevin Dalbey, on board the deck of the Queen Mary down in Long Beach Harbor. During our barbershop singing gigs there, we would stroll along the deck, serenading unsuspecting passers-by. Kind of "drive-by barbershopping", if you will... |

Here's me, at an impossibly young age, and minus facial hair, at some LA Jazz Choir event! Circa 1984 |
| Stand aside, all evil-doers! I am Pineapple Man, defender of all tropical fruits... Circa 1984 |

One of the various a cappella vocal groups I've been a member of in L.A., Eight To The Bar. This would have been shortly after my stint in the L.A. Jazz Choir, and several of these singers besides myself were indeed veterans of LAJC. This is us on stage at an At My Place gig in Santa Monica, circa 1985. Personnel, L to R: Stewart Wilson-Turner, Jan Roper, Barbara Bentree, Randy Crenshaw, Bill New, Pam Austin, Gary Rosen, Robin Ehlers. Note the extreme mic-holding hand precision! |
| Here's Eight To The Bar, posing before a live gig, circa 1985; probably at Fellini's, a great little Italian restaurant and club on Melrose in L.A. which has, sadly, been gone for many years. We used to cram all eight of us onto their tiny little stage and sing, with our sole pay being a meal provided by Fellini's (not a bad deal when you're a starving young singer!)... Personnel, L to R: Gary Rosen, Randy Crenshaw, Stewart Wilson-Turner, Bill New, Robin Ehlers, Barbara Bentree, Jan Roper, Pam Austin.

Here is Randy with his lovely wife Linda, both dressed as grumpy old lumberjacks for a Halloween costume party, circa 1985. Note the highly intelligent looks on their faces... |
| Randy at a party with various L.A. Jazz Choir alums, circa 1986. Kind of looks like a Charles Manson family reunion, with RC as Charlie himself. Personnel, L to R: Gale Johnson, RC, Pam Austin, back of Linda Crenshaw's head.
