It was 1923. While young Rogerson was being initiated into one of the worlds great singing organizations, Warren Harding was the U.S. president, but he died later in the year and was succeeded by Calvin Coolidge. It was the year of Adolph Hitlers abortive Beer Hall Putsch in Munich, Germany. Famed actress Sarah Bernhardt died that year and Pancho Villa was assassinated in Mexico. The year Rogersons baritone voice blended for the first time with the more than '300 other singersof the Choir, uwas Jack Dempsey For more formation, please send stamped, His second greatest thrill? Concertwise, the greatest thrills I have had have been singing with the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Today, the Choirs weekly program, Music and the Spoken Word, is the longest running network show in radio and is approaching its 2,500th show. Rogerson has been on hand for most of those programs. His greatest thrill as a member of the Choir for more than half a century? There are two of them. It has been a thrill for me to travel with the Choir around the world and sing in the great concert halls. When I sing in Carnegie Hall, in Londons Royal Albert Hall, Symphony Hall in Boston or any of the other great halls, I ask myself Is this really me, singing here where the great musicians of the world have Ken Rogerson has marked 53 years member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
