We moved to LBB in 1971, and in the first couple of weeks I noticed a signboard at 50th and Indiana which advertised the Singing Plainsmen Chorus and said "Come Sing With Us Men." I told my wife I was going down there (Garden and Arts Center). She said "well if you go I want you to sing and not just stand around." Boy did she ever live to regret those words! I sang with the chorus until I left LBB in 1976. Directors: Jack Almack, John Anderson, Don Harrigan, Bob Leonard. Senior barbershoppers: Harry Delaney, J. Ray Dickey, Arch Lamb. Most fun: Division contest in Fort Worth (1972?)...Sunny Welch and Lloyd Thompson had a contest to see who could stay up the longest without sleep. Best friend: Gene Passmore. He put up with my snoring at more than one contest. Places where I've sung since leaving LBB: Shreveport; Potton, England (BABS); Fort Worth; San Antonio; a pick-up quartet which did several shows in Ankara, Turkey; Saffron Walden, England (BABS); and North Texas Men's Chorus in Wichita Falls (not affiliated with SPEBSQSA. Look forward to hearing Lubbock sing again real soon. Mike Bartley
