It's been a while and we've had many new people join since my last
"advertisement".

I just wanted to remind you that I have collected a LOT of links in our LINKS
section regarding quartet administration, where to get outfits, coaching, music,
learning tracks, etc.

Please check them out. I hope they will be useful to you.

Featuring the amazing Atlantic Harmony Brigade Chorus & Quartets (drawing men from all over the US, Canada and Europe) plus a spectacular parade of quartets including: Down-A-Fourth, Sugartown, Academy, Class Act, Down Town & more.

Admittedly all 200 performers won't be on stage at once (it's too small) but the sound, variety and performance will still be awesome.

If your serious about quality singing and becoming a top 10 performer at Srs
Intl. I am available. Its been tough going trying to get highly qualified parts,
here in MAD or in NED...especially difficult to get expereinced men and get the
Lead/Bass match.

I thought that MAD Brigade members might be interested, but have not had much,
if any, follow through from that avenue.

I sing with Alexandria Harmonizers, and have a vacation home (its actually my
home residence) in Massachusetts and would be willing to travel for a quality
