In June of 1954, Dr. Oakleigh "Oak" Thorne (the previous music director of the Yale Whiffenpoofs) moved to Boulder to receive his doctorate in Biology at the University of Colorado. The Whiffenpoofs at Yale, founded in 1909, are the oldest a cappella group in the nation. In 1961, after a performance in Denver for the Yale Association, Oak brought the Whiffenpoofs to Macky Auditorium on CU's campus to sing. When Oak introduced the group he suggested that someone should start an a cappella group on CU's campus as well.
A year later the Whiffenpoofs were brought back to Boulder by Oak, and again he challenged the audience to start their own collegiate group. Shortly after the concert, Don Grusin and Roger Nelson, two CU undergraduates, approached Oak to ask if he could help them start such a group. Delighted, Oak provided guidance and arrangements for the singers. By September of 1962, the three musicians had formed an octet under the name "The BUFFoons," a homage to the CU Buffs.
Since then the Buffoons have produced dozens of studio albums, as well as shared their music across the Rocky Mountain Region....more
