Coping With Change
F
or the past few weeks, I have
had the time to do a lot of
thinking about many things in my
life and in the life of my wife
Gail. As most of you know, my wife had to
undergo knee replacement surgery and several
things suddenly changed from the way we had
been doing things in our life. I could no longer
just get in the truck and go do what I wanted to do
on the spur of the moment. I had to stay close to
home for a few days to assist my wife in her
recovery time from surgery. I had to take on responsibilities that I was not use to doing. I had to
become a nurse, a physical therapist, housekeeper,
and many other duties associated with Gail and
myself. We had to make changes in the way we
did things.
I thought about my good friend Sam and
his sweet wife Nancy. It was so great to have Sam
at rehearsal last Tuesday night. For one thing, it
was a moral booster for every guy in the chorus,
but I believe that it was excellent therapy for Sam
himself to be able to come down. The lives of
Sam and Nancy were going one direction one day
and the next day everything just exploded in so
many different ways. The way they did things
had to change.
I thought about my friend Jack and his wife
Nancy. For many years Jack and Nancy had lived
their lives in a smooth and flowing direction
together and then one day their lives changed.
Nancy has had some health problems and Jack and
Nancy had to change the way they were proceeding to correct these obstacles in their lives.
I thought about J. W. and other members of
our chorus who have had to make changes in their
lives. For different reasons, changes had to be
made.
In all of these examples, everybody had to
make changes. I believe that as a chorus, the
North Georgia Barbershop Singers, need to make
some changes to help us grow and prosper and be
around for many years to come. We need to look
at some areas that need to change. We need to
look at why we need to make these changes. And
we need to look at how our chorus can go about
making these changes to help grow our chorus,
to help us have an even larger impact on our community, and help us to become a much improved
chorus.
In the near future, I hope to have all my
thoughts and ideas put together in a manner that
will be easy for everyone to understand what I feel
are changes that our chorus needs to consider.
Paul J. Meyer once said: Productivity is never
an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and
focused effort.

Thanks Gene for making the call

Thanks for a Great Meeting
and Rehearsal, Oct 2, 2013
By Steve Dorn, Musical Director
And most importantly, thanks y’all
for being at rehearsal! We couldn’t have
done it without you!!
A special highlight for me last night was
seeing old members, er, I mean, seeing two
members who have been away for a while:
Fred and Sam. We have missed you both
dearly and enjoyed harmonizing with you
again!
“And one more thing…” (that’s for you,
AJ!). Thanks for AJ celebrating his
21stbirthday, or was it his 25th birthday, or
was it… oh never mind. Thanks, AJ, for
keeping the party atmosphere going after
the rehearsal had ended.
I
f you are missing NGBS rehearsals,
you are missing a lot! (and we’re missing you, too)
I know I’m going to forget someone,
but here goes:
Thanks Jerry W for a great rehearsal
program!
If you’re not having this much fun on Tuesdays, then you’re really missing
out. Swing on by, don’t be a stranger, and
let’s all ring some chords!
Thanks Chuck P for arranging our
new Christmas song, It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Added Words to
Steve’s Article
Thanks to the chorus for doing a
great job of learning our 4th song in 4
months, The Secret of Christmas!
By Fred Kanel
I
'd like to add my thanks to those Steve
thanked and also thank all the members
who were there last night. It was by far the
best rehearsal in my short barbershop career.
After being away for two months, I
looked around the room last night and saw
the happy, singing faces of all my friends,
and I said to
myself, "I'm really home!"
And then to have Sam Frankhouser walk in
and to get to sing with him was just an
unbelievable bonus.
Thanks Chuck B for our “record
breaking” 50/50 jackpot!
Thanks Rick for keeping us on track
by insisting we start every song from the
beginning!
Thanks Chuck P for teaching us two
new songs in one night!
Thanks Jim for being a wonderful
guest!

J W Jones Returns to the Fold
Roswell Chapter Hosts
Dine Around
I
t has been several weeks now
since J W fell in his flower bed
at home and broke his hip. With a
lengthy stay in the hospital and
even longer in rehab,, John has
mended well enough to return to the chapter and
chorus for a visit. John has stayed up with our
music while convalescing so he is carrying his
own weight right off the bat. John is using a
walker still but that is not slowing him down .
Good to have you back John! Even for just
one meeting. Needless to say we have been hurting
in the Baritone section in your absence. We now
need to get Sam Frankhouser and Fred Kanel singing again and we should be in good shape!
T
he Roswell

Brigade will be
sponsoring
a
Barbershop DineAround on the
13th of October.
This function will
be held at the
Diner at North
Chet Burdick is Radiant!
Point on Mansell Road.
There will be some gang singing and
a few quartet performing along with the offering of great food. Take you wife out on
the town and have an enjoyable evening
dinner and great fellowship among friends!
Please contact Dan Roberson of the Roswell Harmony Brigade if you plan to attend!
[email protected]
C
hester Burdick is not one to talk
much about his health problems
but we all need to keep him our prayers.
Chet was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few weeks ago and he has been
getting a daily radiation treatment for
the past few weeks. The treatments are
at a low level killing off the cancer cells in a
manner that they are not apt to reoccur.
Thank goodness, Chester has had little
discomfort from all this so far, but there is bound to
be some psychological impact about the situation.
Let’s all support Chester in any way we can!

y latest word is that Sam is
doing better. Sam continues
to endure more chemo treatments
and the results have been good.
Sam is feeling better and he has
managed to do a bit of work on his
camper and is washing the car. He
seems to tire easily however things
are going better as time passes The gall bladder
seems to remain a problem, however external
drains are rendering this situation to a standoff.
Get well quick Sam! We need your fellowship!
T
he Lake Lanier Chapter can expect a
visit from our Nashville BHS Music
Specialist, Adam Scott on Thursday night,
October 17, 2013.
I have observed Adam several times
in such occasions and he is a very special
kind of guy. He is very knowledgeable
about Barbershop music specializing in
how to sing it as well as how to sell it!
This will be a function you will not
want to miss so set the date aside and look
forward to a great evening of barbershop.

Our Man Sam
By Jerry Frank
DOCTOR, LAWYER,
INDIAN CHIEF
from
Mike O’Donnell
T
uesday October 1, 2013 was a red letter day for the
NGBS meeting and rehearsal night. Our favorite
(don't tell Duane) baritone drove in from that refuge in
the high country to bolster our suffering baritone section.
Sam Frankhouser has been through the wringer
for the last 9 weeks as the VA Hospital has been testing
his mettle with the latest version of rat poison designed to
kill his liver tumor without doing the same to its owner.
Sam is a tough nut from the word "Go" and said
that the drive down from Cleveland was less of a strain
than one song with our pickup
quartets. Sam hung in
for three songs and sounded great. When the doctor said
that Sam could drive again, he felt a huge milestone had
been achieved in getting his life back.
Sam is still stuck in a long rut with nine miles of
bad road and no detours
in sight. The Chemo,
(previously mentioned rat poison) has prevented the
tumor growth and has wiped out the stray cells that were
threatening other body parts. The next stage will use
targeted radiation to attack the liver tumor.
The cards and prayers have been a big boost for
Sam and he is appreciative of our support during his
battle. Keep them coming. One of the things that is bugging Sam is that he thinks that he will lose his hair during
the next round of treatments. Anybody got a good rug ?
Don't think that I am being callous but if Sam can
retain his sense of humor, I certainly have no reason to
lose mine.

long time barbershopper and
CCC friend from Michigan
Though we’ve never had an
Indian Chief, the CCC has
had several physicians and
attorneys as members.
Current members James
Tidwell and Philip Martin are
both lawyers. The following
story seems appropriate.
A doctor and a lawyer were
talking at a party. Their conversation
was constantly interrupted
by people describing
their ailments and asking the
doctor for free medical advice.
After an hour of this, the
exasperated doctor asked the
Lawyer, "What do you do to stop
people from asking you for legal
advice when you're out of the
office?" "I give it to them," replied the
lawyer," and then I send them a bill”
The doctor was shocked, but agreed
to give it a try.
The next day, still feeling a little
guilty, the doctor prepared the bills..
When he went to place them in
his mailbox, he found a bill from
the lawyer.

NGBS MUSIC COMMITTEE
SEPTEMBER 10, 2013
Music VP Andy Doetsch called this meeting to order at 6:03 PM.
Attending were: Andy Doetsch, Terry Gillim,
Steve Dorn, Rich Pilch, Jack Martin, Dan Sullivan,
Bob Hitch, Chuck Berny, and Tom Riggle.
This meeting was called to review our current song repertoire and to consider bringing back
some non-repertoire songs that had been dropped
in the past.
Current repertoire songs: Most were deemed
to be fine with the following exceptions:
The Band Played On – Archive it. A complex
song that the chorus is just not in to. To
keep it and do well would require too much
investment relative to the payoff.
I Love You Truly – keep it and put some effort
into it, starting in January, to use during the
Valentine program and beyond.
Just Once More – Archive it.
God Bless America – some thought we might
be confusing our audience by singing it in
unison and then singing it again in 4-part.
Consider rearranging the song.
2014 – HARMONY UNIVERSITY,
MOVES TO NASHVILLE!
TO BE HELD AT,
BELMONT UNIVERSITY
Archived Songs:
We considered and discussed 10 songs that are
in the archive and decided to take some action on
two of those.
Coney Island Baby – put it back in the current
repertoire and revive it.
Back in Dixie Again – Bring it back and give it
another shot in 2014. Send our arrangement out to get learning tracks made. This
is a good song for the audiences in this area
– if done well.

Members and Guests of the Barbershop Quartet Preservation Association
Celebrate Another Enjoyable BQPA Quartet Festival
I
realize that with the exception of myself, there is no
one in the Lake Lanier chapter that is a member of the
Barbershop Quartet Preservation Association. However the
following article shows that there is more to barbershop
than limiting yourself to attending your own chapter
meetings and singing in a chorus.
If you enjoy quarteting and down right, great
fellowship you owe it to yourself to attend one of the
BQPA Quartet Festivals.
everyone else scrambled about, trying to find their other

continued until moments before the contest started.
The competition was fierce and well-fought, resulting in the presentation of medals to the champs, who were
very well-received. The winning quartet included lead
singer Norm Starks, the composer of “Sweet and

Sweet Tea Visits
Myrtle Beach
by Tom Riggle
F
red Kanel, who is one of our quartet’s
three Baritones, splits his time between his mountain home in Georgia and
his beach home in South Carolina. Right
now, he and Sylvia are in the midst of a
two-month stay at the beach. Fred also
sings Bari with the False Alarm quartet so
both quartets are a man down for that
period. We expect him back in Georgia
next month.
Though it’s about a seven hour drive,
Rich Pilch, Terry Gillim and myself, along
with our wives, decided to go to the beach
and visit Fred and Sylvia to break the barbershop quartet fast we are enduring. Fred
and Sylvia were very welcoming and generous hosts for the weekend. The Kanel
Kondo is a dynamite corner unit on the 6th
floor right on Myrtle Beach. What a beautiful view. When we pried ourselves away
from the balcony upon arrival, we decided
to sing a song. You know how that goes.
One song lead to another, and then another,
for most of our stay there. Fred wanted to
try our new chorus songs with live voices
so; of course we did that too. The time
went fast and we didn’t actually get to everything we know. It was really great for
Sweet Tea to get with Fred and bang out a
bunch of songs and chords.
On Saturday night, we went to a
place Sylvia described as a funky little seafood place. It is called Crab Catcher’s and
is right on the water of Little River. Little
River is the border between SC and NC and
serves as an inlet from the ocean. We had a
close up view of “Big M” which is a siz-
able boat/ship that serves as a casino once
it casts off from the dock. Crab Catcher’s
restaurant specializes in locally caught seafood and the food was among the best we
have ever had. Being cognizant of Rule 6,
we quietly sang a song or two while there.
Sunday morning, we sang a few
more songs at the Kanel Kondo before we
interlopers headed back to Georgia to await
our wayward Baritone. What a great time
we had seeing Fred and Sylvia and singing
some of our favorite barbershop tunes. See
you back in Georgia soon my friend.

LADS OF LANIER PERFORM
Editorial Regarding
Membership
By Jerry Frank
T
B
he McDonald's Restaurant in Cornelia GA
sponsored a "Celebrate Our Seniors" on the
morning of October 2, 2013. Who better to entertain this lively gathering of seniors than the oldest
quartet within 51 miles, the Lads Of Lanier. Since
the "Lads" have decided that life begins upon
retirement and we are either in our teens or rapidly
approaching them by our new scale of youth, we
fit right in with this crowd.
We started our day looking at numbers on
our alarm clocks that we haven't seen in years. We
departed at 8:00 AM with our target of 9:30 AM
for arrival. Unfortunately we found that my Garmin GPS had only the address noted in her data
bank and very firmly but politely guided us to a
quiet spot on a country road and announced that
we had arrived. The left turn suggested looked to
be a 40 foot drop so we set out to back track to the
busiest intersection we could find.
Sure enough Eagle Eye Bob Biccum saved
the day with his "There she be!". After cruising the
parking lot we found a spot hidden behind an enormous bus that no one else was brave or foolish
enough to attempt. We squeezed in and trekked
about the building looking for an entrance which
of course was on the opposite end of the parking
lot's). We were greeted by our frazzled host who
was having a mild panic attack as the clock ticked
past 9:30. It's a good thing that we were on site at
9:32 or she may have had a full blown melt down.
After a very brief refresh after our one and a half
hour drive, we started to work the crowd.
The building had a long divide down the
center that roughly blocked the revelers into a
maze of booths and tables. With about 125 people
in the building and access to only 15 to 20 at a
time, we sang, walked, sang, walked, sang (you
get the idea) until we had logged a half marathon.
One of the most heart warming parts of the
event was the time we spent in the playroom
where one little girl solemnly shook hands with
each of us to show her appreciation. The adults
watching the kids choked up a bit as did we when
it became clear that many of the kids were not in a
condition that they could use much of the available
equipment.
(continued on page 11)
ack in the mid 80’s, the SPEBSQSA was enjoying a continued
growth of members. Our chapters were thriving
and everyone was having a great time in our barbershop singing hobby. Conventions, both District
and International was well attended. Chapters were
having jamborees together on the 5th Wednesday
of the month, yearly area contests were in full
bloom and a lot of functions were held wherein
“The Old Songs” were the highlight of the evening. We had visions of having 50,000 members
by our 50th birthday in 1988. As it turned out we
only reached 38,000+ by 1988, as we celebrated
our golden anniversary. As time passed, our music
changed, our judging categories revised and our
membership began diminishing and here we are,
25 years later and our membership has been reduced to 22,744.
There are as many reasons for this reduction as there are members currently in the Society.
Every one has their own opinion on why this has
happened. So I won’t dwell on that. I will say that
becoming a Barbershop singer is something paralleling that of becoming a Christian. It’s an attitude
that is rarely completely disbanded. Yes, your involvement sometimes changes! As in the case
of barbershop. You may discontinue attending
chapter function and rehearsals, even to the point
of dropping your membership with the Society,
however you remain a barbershop singer.
This is evidenced by your continued
involvement in singing. Many become active in
split off organizations that have less regulated
structure. No serious competition is one of the
traits that many enjoy. Chorus competition is
non existent in less organized groups, with “less
emphasis on perfection, being the key element)
Enjoyment is often maintained through fellowship
and less perfection in performance. Also it seems
Preservation is a strong element of less regulated
barbershop singing organizations
Membership is an elusive element! I
would say that there is still 30,000+ barbershop
singers in the confines of North America. Many
are just no longer members of the Barbershop
Harmony Society.
