Earlier this week I reported that we had recruited an unprecedented two second tenors, Ken Nurden and Ron Atkins within the same week.  No one ever expected that when Rob Lane, a local resident, walked in with friend, second tenor, chorister Alyn Dawe to listen to us that he too decided to make the short…
