The SOCIETY for the PRESERVATION and ENCOURAGEMENT of BARBER SHOP QUARTET SINGING in AMERICA,INC FEBRUARY, 1947 VOL. VI No.3 DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF BARBER SHOP QUARTET HARMONY Published By See Slary-Page 35 The SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF BARBER SHOP QUARTET SINGING IN AMERICA,INC. MRS. BARBERSHOPPER! AND CYou- MISS BARBERSHOPPER! JOYou do recall the first meeting 01 the SPEBSQSA I attended .... the enthusiasm mirrored on my face when I returned? How you accepted this sudden outburst with skepticism? And after a few months, when the novelty wore oft you be· came reconciled to being a "widow" on meeting nights and during chorus re­ hearsals, even though you still wondered if this Barbershop business was just an excuse for me to stay out nights as it probably was when Mrs. and Miss on the right were fashion plotes. Then I invited you to your first "Ladies' Night." Remember the cOIsage-lhe taxi-seeing the other wives--you knew-and. finally, the show? I can still see the amozement on your pretty face. Thai same guy-rne-was really proving himseU. And didn't you experience some "goose­ flesh" when as a member of a quartet and the chorus I took my applause like an old trouper? Yep, again that was me. your old WOrk horse. There followed a series of War Bond Drives, performances at Veterans' Hospi­ tals. Old Peoples' Homes, Community Meetings. churches. and many other events. You didn't worry any longer. The neighbors stopped smiling at the mention of SPEBSQSA. And even the poslman would ring and wait to deliver !hal SPEBSQSA letter personally in order to let you know that he, too, was a member. And yel. it was your faith, your tolerance, and your understanding that have made me a figure in our community. Yes. you believed in me. Today. the rest of the boys ond t pay tribute to you. We don't worry about meeting nighls any longer because you remind us that attendance is necessary. Down deep in your heart the happiness that we derive from serving our fellow man is your happiness. Because of your belief in us and in whal we hope to achieve, we salute you. Mrs. Barbershopper, and we are proud to call you. "Our one and only Sweetheart" H. M.

"TO THE LADIES" NUMBER ~ VOLUME VI NO.3 OE\IOTEO TO THE INTE<lE!>TS Or: PEBRUARY.1947 BAAOHI SHOP QUMHET HARMONY IN mid-Victorian days when many songs now sung in the Society were just attaining popularity among informal quartets warbling beneath the gaslights, a polite tradition existed in male circles, the toast "To the ladies." Depending upon views and pocketbooks of the assemblage, it might be drunk in champagne, bourbon, sarsaparilla, raspberry shrub, or "crick" water, but whatever the solvent the toast was traditional. In full form it ran "To the ladies .. , God bless'em (cheers). GlIIHE Society has every reason to revive this pleasant tradition by dedkating this issue of -JIL the Harmonizer to the ladies of SPEBSQSA. They maybe mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, other relatives, sweethearts, or just friends. Whatever their status, the Society owes them much. Quartets have been made because of some feminine influence that might range from mere encour­ agement or intelligent criticism to arranging music or arranging nights out for rehearsals or appearances. Conversely, quartets have been broken by women because of their lack of under­ stauding, interest, or sympathy. HAT'S the very first thing a typical quartet does after arriving at approximate four part W agreement while the blinding tears are falling as it thinks of its lost Pearl? It parades into the other room beseeching Pearl, or Helen or Jane or mother or sis, or all of them, to "listen how this goes ... are we on the beam!" It's pathetic and unmanly the way they await the feminine verdict. If she tells them that it sounds like falling into a cold frame, or something, they're cowed into depths of apology, though they rally soon. Bnt, if She chirps "Swell, boys," they practically wag in gratitnde. OMEN have played an important part in the formation and development of the Society. W In some cases their contributions are passive, "It's a good thing for John, let him enjoy himself." In many, many other instances they have inspired, and rallied loyally to hard work necessitated by travel, operation of various phases of meetings, or entertainment of visiting fire­ men and their ladies, as examples. ,....A["ND, as dyed-in-the-rayon barbershop harmony fans, they get as many thrills out of Y'JL parades and concerts as do the male addicts. Here's to you, ladies! And, paraphrasing another famous toast of early barbershopping days, "Here's to our wives and sweethearts, may they often meet" at Society affairs. ·o/lie HARMONIZER Int'I.

  • History of Barbershop
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.

We will meet at 7:00 P.M. in the meeting room of the Jeffersontown Library at 10635 Watterson Trail. The Greater Jeffersontown Historical Society meetings are now held on the first Monday of the even numbered months of the year. Everyone is encouraged to attend to help guide and grow the Society. June Meeting We are going to learn about the award winning Thoroughbred Chorus and then be entertained by them. The Thoroughbred Chorus was established in 1946 in Louisville as a member of what is now known as the Barbershop Harmony Society. The men originally met at the home of founder Fritz Drybrough and then for many years at the Rathskeller of the Seelbach Hotel in downtown Louisville, Kentucky. In 1978, The Thoroughbreds moved to the Old Lutheran Church building in Jeffersontown. It has since been renamed "Jim Miller Hall" to honor the late, great director of the chorus. They are a seven-time international champion chorus that is a part of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The Thoroughbred Chorus won the international championship in 1962, 1966, 1969, 1974, 1978, 1981, and 1984. The chapter has also produced several championship quartets including The Bluegrass Student Union, Interstate Rivals, Second Edition, and The Barons. August Meeting We are going to have the opportunity to visit the private museum in Soldier’s Retreat that is now owned by Brooks and Marilyn Bower. The dates in August will be between August 18 to the 31st.
