with the discovery that as soon as the members of the quartet were willing to
work together and blend with each other the 4 voices made anywhere from 5 to 6
tones. 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.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Once I had made the separate recordings the studio
technician put all 4 together on one tape. That means I now have my own
quartet. Problem is there isn’t much market for a one-man quartet!<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">As time wore on I came upon my 63<sup>rd</sup> 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. <span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">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 4<sup>th</sup>
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.<span></span></span></p>
