This next chanter is someone who is near and dear to me. It is Panagiotis "Pete" Gikas. He is a chanter at St. Demetrios church, in Elmhurst, IL. I know what you are all thinking, "Fierceness!" That is exactly what I was thinking, and if you know Pete you're probably dieing of laughter. I recently rediscovered a live recording of his. He had graciously given it to me awhile back (and never will give me another one because of this post lol).
The recording is from the Ανάσταση Λειτουργία service in 2008. It is chanted by all the seminarians of Holy Cross Seminary in Boston. Does anyone know the name of the chanter on the other side of Pete? He's very good too! Forgive the quality of the recording, the closeness of the hson holder, and understand that it is live. Baby crying cannot be edited out, nor should it!
