Lucy Webb Hayes House Performance

We've been asked to perform at the Lucy Webb Hayes House on Dec 30, 2010. This will be an evening of Barber Pole Cats (songs all Barbershoppers know) along with other songs sung in the Barbershop style. Songs like Kentucky Babe, Shenandoah, When There's Love at Home, etc. We are looking forward to the performance.

Weekend Performance at Adena Mansion and Gardens

It wasn't quite this snowy, and we performed in the Visitor Center, not the mansion, but you get the idea! Our quartet performed two half hour sets over the weekend. One set on Saturday and one on Sunday. I'd have to say the entire Holiday event was very sparsley attended. However whenever our quartet gets to sing together, we always have an enjoyable time.

Performance at Tabernacle Baptist Church

We sang today, Wednesday, June 30, for the folks who enjoyed lunch in the basement of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. It was a nice crowd of about 40-50 people. Most were seniors, but there were a few "youngsters" in attendance. We sang several pole cats and then took a break. I told a joke and Paul thought it was a great segue into Bill Grogan's Goat, so he added that number to the performance. It was a good idea! We started the second half of our performance with that great love song .... Oh, How I Miss Her. Most of the folks got it, but a few had puzzled looks on their faces when the final note died away. We finished our second half with Irish Blessing, we thought. But we were asked for an encore. So our final, final song was Under The Boardwalk.

Paint & Main Practice Let Me Call You Sweetheart

This was done with a $35 camera. We've got to get something better!! Note: Keep the volume low and it removes some of the static/scratchy. If the screen is blank, just click the start arrow.

Quartet Practice

We had a great practice session Thursday night, May 20. We ran thru lots of songs. It's amazing how easy it is to forget a few words (and notes), even of songs we've sung quite a few times. Practice, practice, practice.

Warning, This is not Paint & Main

We are working on this. It's a really nice piece. I think we have to modify the standard ending we are singing right now to something a bit more special. Perhaps something like this!

Hello Mary Lou by USNA Cleaneshave

Paint and Main's Lead is an ex Department of the Navy career employee. Thought he might enjoy this. Plus, we're working on Hello Mary Lou. It's almost ready, if the bass can just remember a few parts.

I'm not sure how military it is, but the lead in this seems to have a pretty good "barbershop squat" at 1:11 and 1:12. lol

Singing at Trinity UMC, Chillicothe on Sunday, January 10, 2010

We sang a couple of numbers, I Believe and When There's Love at Home, as part of the 10:45 service at Trinity UMC today. Each of us was pleased with our performance. And we hope the congregation was, too.
