There was another guest quartet on the shows this weekend, the Hum Dingers. These 4 guys are truly amazing. They can sing, they are funny, and they are great guys to be around. Chad, Kevin, Steve, and Drew sing at "the most popular vacation spot in Florida" (aka Disney World. They are part of the Dapper Dans that sing on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom.) The instruments they are playing in the pictures are called organ chimes. They play the C scale and cover 3 octaves. The Hum Dingers play these organ chimes WHILE they are singing some of their songs. WOW!
The girls in Star Struck are my very closest friends. Julie, on the far left, sings tenor. She owns and operates the Flower Gallery in Amarillo. She makes some of the most beautiful flower arrangements I have ever seen. Jennifer, 2nd to the left, sings bass. Jennifer is one of the smartest people I have ever known. She is a chemist and works for Celanese. I admire her ability to read the ingredients on a tube of lipstick and not only pronounce them, but actually know what they are and be able to draw the chemical compound for you (while I am happy just selecting my favorite shade! ha!) Kim, on the right, is a dental hygenist and a race car driver. She always laughs when I tell people she drives a race car. She is really very good at it, but doesn't have as much time for it now that she is singing. Kim is also a talented leader and organizer. We laugh that we are twin sisters born a few years apart. These ladies are my therapy group. We laugh together, cry together, lean on each other, and generally love each other. Thank you, Julie, Kim and Jennifer, for all you mean to me and all you are! I love you very much! You know we will ALWAYS have to be friends. You guys know too much!
Dynamite, Richard's quartet, is made up of four really great guys. Roy, left, sings bass. Stephen, 2nd from left, sings tenor. Richard, 3rd from left, sings lead. Mike, right, sings baritone. They have been together with this combination of men since May. They are working hard and sounding wonderful! Way to go, guys!
Well, this is just a small look at our quartets. Hopefully sometime, I will have a chance to send pictures of the choruses we sing in, but enough is enough for one night.

How fun! I miss singing like that. I haven't had the chance to hear your quartet yet. I can't wait. Let me know if you'll be in the area sometime.
Where is the picture of you and Richard by yourselves singing four-part harmony with hand motions? ha.
Your lives sound so incredibly fun. I don't know if you knew this, but Tyler sang with the Tidelanders for a while, but it was becoming a big strain for a fun outlet. Then, a year ago last summer he joined the Houston Symphonic Band and played with them for a year and went to China with them before we left for Ganado. He really misses it and made several friends, too.
Keep posting, and thanks for all of your comments. I think we're close to convincing Laura to jump off the bridge soon.
