SPEBSQSA, Inc. in the 21st Century
Last night I was up until 1:30 AM watching the live webcast of the Quartet Finals taking place in Portland, OR. It's a wonderful addition to the services the Society supplies to its members and to others who might enjoy their activities. I think it ironic that a Society whose primary purpose is to preserve a style of singing from the 19th Century has the wisdom to use the technology of the 21st Century to achieve their goal. This forward thinking irony will probably do more to extend Barbershop Singing to the world than just about any other initiative the Society has ever undertaken. It was a great idea, SPEBSQSA.The 2002 Championship quartet is from Cleveland, TN -- 4 Voices. Congratulations guys!
