Bulletin is published by the Manhattan Kansas Chapter and Chorus

   Yes, a barbershop quartet can be formed in less than a minute! It happened on the street in Philadelphia this summer at BHS 2010. As Jim Lindquist (baritone) and Bob Swenson (tenor), both from Little Apple Barbershop Chorus of Manhattan, Kansas, stepped on the sidewalk in Philadelphia, they crossed paths with Steve (lead) and Harold (base), who are fellow barber

shoppers from Indianapolis. All were wearing nametags for the annual conference, that also indentified their voice parts. The singers from Indy recognized that all four voice parts had come together at the same time.  Smiling cordially, Harold and Steve immediately issued an invitation to Jim and Bob, “We see you are a tenor and a bari. We are a lead and a base. Since we have all of the voice parts, why not sing a song?” Jim and Bob said they had just had dinner, and were waiting for valet to bring up the car, but would sing until the car arrived.     Continued on page 3...

Jim Lindquist and Bob Swenson of Manhattan Kansas and two men from Indianapolis  stopped on a Philadelphia street during the International Convention to join in song.
