This Is Just To Say
BY WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

That meant that in cooperation and teamwork the whole was greater than the sum of the parts. At that point I took it upon myself to learn all 4 parts to HEART OF MY HEART, a classic Barbershop love song. It is traditionally sung at Valentines Day, but is sung at many other occasions. I went to a local recording studio, expanded on the above context, recorded a contextual statement and proceeded to record each part of the song—Lead; Bass; Baritone, and; Tenor.

>> As time wore on I came upon my 63rd year. I approached the quartet with which I was singing and asked them if they would spend the time to learn the Beattles’ WHEN I’M 64? If they were wiling to do that I could sing WHEN I’M 64, when I’m 64. They were not willing to undertake the project. Having already put one quartet of my own together I learned all 4 parts, returned to the studio, and recorded WHEN I’M 64.

>> I am an avid bicycle rider. I even purchased an old tandem single-speed bicycle and retrofitted it with spare parts to a 6-speed. The 4th of July Parade traditionally held in Whiting, IA prompted another notion of quartet singing. I found a second tandem bicycle, had the two of them fitted together, and prepared to have the quartet in which I was singing ride and sing in the Parade. Once again I suggested that we learn a song: Daisy Bell. Once again the quartet was unwilling to put the necessary work into learning it. Having already put two quartets of my own together I learned all 4 parts, returned to the studio.
