The good old days, a few things come to my mind that are memorable. I think most of them are images presented in musicals or movies. Those that come quickly to my mind are ‘Barber Shoppe’ quartets and from the ladies, ‘The Sweet Adelines’. They seem to represent a quieter more peaceful life style and that gives us joy.

Some may remember attending a performance by a ‘Barber Shoppe’ quartet or the ‘Sweet Adelines’. Many hours of practice and enjoyment preceded the presentation. The lyrics and the timing for the three stage harmony, the stage presence all a performers skills. Perfection for the listening audience. We as audience sitting still, waiting to ‘Bravo’ and clap. The perfect win, win situation for a job well done.

None of this is available now but hopefully soon. We hope the performers are practicing solely as we await their return for our enjoyment and our mutual happiness.
