Glenn Wescott

Music and lyrics. That's been a personal calling for Glenn Wescott since he was twelve years old. And that's been a while ago. A brief concentration of piano lessons for three years through junior high school in Oakland, California, led to a small contribution of songs for his senior assembly at a same city high school, and eventually to song inserts in variety shows and incidental music to plays at City College of San Francisco.

And that's been a while ago. A brief concentration of piano lessons for three years through junior high school in Oakland, California, led to a small contribution of songs for his senior assembly at a same city high school, and eventually to song inserts in variety shows and incidental music to plays at City College of San Francisco. It was 1959 before there was any further presentation of musical effort with scores for the then active Newport Harbor Community Players' productions of "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Mr. Roberts". In 1962, his first musical "The Golden Knight" was performed at an old movie theater in Orange, California. 1966 saw the record-establishing "longest running little theater musical revue with an original score in Orange, County California history", with the advent of "little man in search of his serious side", based on the satirical cartoon sketches of Jules Feiffer. The show eventually went into performances at the Horseshoe Theater in Hollywood, California. Glenn continued writing with a musical in 1971 about an early concept computer with a mind of its own entitled "Irving", presented at Golden West College in Huntington Beach, California. In 1990, another musical revue called "Flapdoodle!" was offered to the public. Eventually returning to college, he earned his teaching credential and taught elementary classes for the Saddleback Valley Unified School District With nearly 700 songs already written, Glenn, now retired from his public classroom domains, continues to write his music and lyrics, occasionally collaborating with other gifted wordsmiths. Today, with a much more manageable computer access, he divides his time between writing new songs and orchestrating the old ones. In 2014 and 2015 Glenn was honored by live performances of one of the songs from "Irving", played and sung by the Huntington Beach Symphony Chamber Orchestra, the Saint Vincent De Paul Adult Choir and Children's Choir conducted by Grant Sevdayan. Again in 2015, Glenn's original Christmas songs in his "It's Christmas Again" medley was presented by the same outstanding musicians. Other samples of his songs can be heard on his You Tube site under his name. show less
