The Four Ever Young quartet was happy to be asked to perform in honor of Kim Turner at a meeting of the Queen Anne Historical Society, when Kim received an honor for his decades of service. The quartet performance was a surprise, and the audience got a chance to hear the quartet, and a quintet, as Kim couldn't help but join in the singing. Here they all are singing Goodbye My Coney Island Baby:

Congratulations to Kim on the well-deserved honor!

Last week, the SeaChordsmen were incredibly lucky to have Rob Mance join us for some vocal coaching. Rob is highly sought after in the barbershop world because of two things: his skill in finding low-hanging fruit for each chorus member to work towards becoming the best singer they can possibly be, and his warmth and kindness in doing so. We were spellbound as Rob talked about a variety of challenges singers face -- breath support, alignment, vibrato, etc. It was a clinic in how to help singers learn and enjoy themselves doing it. We got so much out of the evening that we're planning to have Rob back soon. If you've ever thought about joining us for a rehearsal, now's the time! Then, a couple of months down the road, you, too, can reap the rewards of Rob's incredible coaching.

This weekend, members of the chorus were honored to gather with the family of Jim Smith for his memorial service. During the service, we learned more about Jim and his many hobbies and the adventures of his life. We were lucky to have Jim in the SeaChordsmen ranks for over 60 years, where he took on all kinds of chorus leadership roles. He contributed so much to the SeaChordsmen, and we won't be the same without him.

Read an article about Jim in the Queen Anne & Magnolia News.

The SeaChordsmen warm up and prepare for the service.
