Attention all fraternity brother musicians, groupies, and other musical afficinados.
Mike Quaranta, Class of 1985 and Greg Pichler, Class of 1982, recently collaborated on a music video, entitled, By Any Which Way You Can.
Greg Pichler originally composed the song, By Any Which Way You Can, on Sunday, January 22, 2023, while following the football contest between the Cincinnati Beagals and the Buffalo Bills. Later, Pichler recorded a bass guitar part and a number of vocal parts in his private studio in Bethesda, Maryland. On Wednesday, March 8, 2023 while Quaranta was physically in Toronto, Ontario, teaching on behalf of IBM, Quaranta attended PIchler's portable studio in the downtown core of the city of Toronto and contributed a number of vocal parts on the original composition.

Pichler am still collecting vocal contributions for the bridge of the song. Mike Quaranta recorded a vocal part for the bridge, however, Pichler plans to incorporate several different voices other than mike's and his own to effectively mimic a men's choir. This is, perhaps, where you come in. Click here to contact Greg Pichler, '82, if you would like to contribute a vocal part in WAV file format on the song, By Any Which Way You Can.
