Morrissey Declares...

True, many, many folks in the past have seriously questioned the mental stability and fashion sense of HoH president Bob Morrissey. And, at first glance, his latest announcement (that it’s “Christmas in July”) truly seems like complete validation for such concerns. BUT…. ...the HoH board of directors and music team have determined to make the 2006 Heralds Christmas show and holiday festivities an even greater success than before! A tall order? Yes… especially for someone with questionable cranial furniture. However, president Bob is calling on all interested Heralds to join him and the chorus board on Wednesday, July 19, for a very important planning and preview session re: the Christmas show. If you want to be a part of such a cutting edge movement, be at the 7PM meeting at the rehearsal hall. And remember — BYOE (Bring Your Own Eggnog)

Weekly E-Newsletter July 16, 2006

As we’ve been hearing, the HoH chapter version of the Society’s Barberpole Cat program is now ready to launch. Learning these twelve esatablished tunes is a great way to enrich your barbershop life and makes it possible to sing with all other barbershoppers in the world, any time you happen to run into them. We’re being given the chance to work on these songs, one-at-a-time, starting this week (July 18). You can download the music and learning tracks to any (or all) of them inside the HoH members area. Visit the Repertoire Music Library and select “Barberpole Cats”. Then plan to meet fellow polecat-ers at our rehearsal hall at 6PM on Tuesday for your first dose of this particular kind of barbershop fun. July’s song (first of the 12 polecats we’ll work on) is: MY WILD IRISH ROSE Hoping to see you all at the first polecat session, “Your fellow barberpole cats” ( P.S. Coming in August: DOWN OUR WAY )

The Tampa HERALD

We thought you might

like to see how this

year’s recent Flag Day

festivities at the hall

were covered in the

current publication of

the Scottish Rite’s

Bulletin.

The Heralds, once

again, performed at the

annual program hosted

by the Rite and they

kindly included us in

their printed re-cap.

TAMPA HERALD cub reporter, Lou Wurmnest, is back fresh from International.

He files the following story:

While perusing the Convention Program at the International Contest in Indianapolis, I noticed a 'Robert Lang' listed

in the new 50 Year Member listing. And guess what? It is the very same

Robert Lang that is a member of the Heralds of Harmony! All of that training for the Olympics

back who knows when (Jim Thorpe's name comes up from time to time) has kept him in great

shape and good vocal condition.

The Heralds of Harmony congratulate Mr. Bob Lang -- 50 Barbershop Harmony Society Member!

Society Membership Renewals

Here are this week’s “longtimers”

19 Years - Lynn Hineman 25 Years - Don Messler 39 Years - Bill Billings 43 Years - Bob Thames

See the St. Pete Times this week? Monday’s edition included a story about 18-year old

leukemia patient Amanda Genovese, who celebrated

her birthday and recent graduation with a roaring

twenties party in “Great Gatsby” style. The event, held

at Clearwater’s historic Bellevue Biltmore Resort on

Saturday, July 15, was provided and hosted by the

Children’s Dream Fund.

What does this have to do with the Heralds?

Well, the article records that a portiont of the evening

entertainment, and gift to Amanda, was an hour of

barbershop music, presented in period costume, by

HoH’s very own “Songfellows”.

Just another example of how our wonderful hobby is

touching the hearts of some very special people.

Rehearsal guests on June 27

Marty Vandenburgh friend of Paul Carter

(P.S.—Marty went through HoH voice placement on Tuesday!)

Why the 4th? New Englanders had been fighting Britain since April 1775. The very first motion in the Continental Congress for independence was made on June 8. After hard debate, the Congress voted unanimously (12-0), but secretly, for independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain on July 2. The Congress reworked the text of the Declaration until a little after eleven o'clock, July 4th, when thirteen colonies voted for adoption and released an unsigned copy to the printers. (New York abstained from both votes.) Philadelphia celebrated the Declaration with public readings and bonfires on July 8. Not until August 2 would a fair printing be signed by the members of the Congress, but even that was kept secret to protect all the members from British reprisal. John Adams wrote his wife on July 3:

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

Adams was off by two days, however. Certainly, the vote on July 2 was the decisive act. But July 4 is the date on the Declaration itself. Jefferson's stirring prose, as edited by the Congress, was first adopted by the vote of the 4th. It was also the first day Philadelphians heard the official news of independence from the Continental Congress.


To all Heralds who are heading for Indianapolis for the 2006 International Convention, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey. Have a blast!

In case you didn’t realize it, Independence Day falls on a Tuesday this year. SO… there will be NO REHEARSAL ON JULY 4th.

A Harmony Foundation Update:

Congratulations to Bill and Cathie Billings and John and Lauren Pennington, the Sunshine District's newest President's Council members. The 14 Tampa

Chapter members of the President's Council continue to lead the District in support of the Barbershop Harmony Society program through the Harmony

Foundation's philanthropic endeavors.

Chordially, Jack Brueckman

AND…a giant “GOOD LUCK” to our very own favorite four, LAST CALL. We know you’ll do us proud, guys!

The newest edition to the HoH roster is Mr. Phil Stern.

He has been around the risers for a few months and has now officially

taken up membership with us. Phil (better known as the

“rubber band man”) has already jumped in to help us with the singing

technique of “tension and release” . Welcome to the Heralds, Phil!

Here’s a sample of the THANK YOU NOTES received by the Heralds from some of the young

men we helped attend the recent Sunshine District Harmony Explosion camp for young

singers. It sure does your heart good!

PUT IT ON YOUR CALENDAR NOW -

The Heralds have been invited back to the First Christian Church of Largo for a repeat performance, February 18, 2007.

Last year’s show there was a huge

success with a full house and delighted fans. No doubt ‘O7 will be the same!


The latest financial report for the chorus is now on line for your personal perusal. (That means, you are able to look at it.)

Active Heralds can find it inside the members area of our site. Look in the Chapter BOD archive section. It’s labeled as

“hoh financial report 07-06” Please direct any questions or comments re: the report (as well as any large

monetary donations) to HoH Treasurer, Al Kelly.

Also available inside the Heralds site members area is the brand new Christmas show flyer. Designed and produced by Steve Matheson and the HoH publicity team, it’s an excellent tool for us to use in promoting the wonderful holiday performances at TBPAC on December 2. Plenty of hard copies will be soon available for the taking at upcoming rehearsals, but you can download a copy right now. Go to the members area CHAPTER DOCUMENTS section to find the flyer.

There he is - RUSS POWELL

Being recognized for faithful and tireless efforts on behalf of the Heralds - - especially re: the huge job of Heralds show ticket management. He humbly gives much of the credit for winning the latest BARBERSHOPPER OF THE MONTH award to his wizardly mentor and all-around nice guy, Don Long. The way Russ tells it, Don has taught him everything he knows. (Uhh…. Who’s the “he” and who’s the “him” ?

THE BACK PAGE For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all the conflicting medical studies:

1. Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. Germans consume a lot of beer and sausage and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Barberpole Cat program Very soon, the Heralds will introduce the Barberpole Cat program. It’s a simple way to learn a handful of barbershop standards that will make it possible for you to sing a song with ANY other barbershopper in the world. If you would like to read more about it, here’s the link to the society web page where you can discover additional information about the Barberpole Cat program: http://www.barbershop.org/web/groups/public/documents/pages/pub_id_047338.hcsp#P-7_0

(Also, active HoH singers can find Barberpole Cat resources at our website. Go to the members area and visit the Repertoire Music Library. Take a look under “Babershop Standards”)

GROANER OF THE WEEK (maybe the month) - A man goes to the doctor. He says, "Doc, you gotta check my leg. Something's wrong. Just put your ear up to my thigh, you'll hear it!" The doctor cautiously placed his ear to the man's thigh only to hear, "Gimme 20 bucks, I really need 20 bucks." "I've never seen or heard anything like this before, how long has this been going on." The doctor asked. "That's nothing Doc. Put your ear to my knee." The doctor put his ear to the man's knee and heard it say, "Man, I really need 10 dollars, just lend me 10 bucks!!" "Sir, I really don't know what to tell you. I've never seen anything like this." The doctor was dumbfounded. "Wait Doc, that's not all of it. There's more, just put your ear up to my ankle," the man urged him. The doctor did as the man said and was blown away to hear his ankle plead, "Please, I just need 5 dollars. Lend me 5 buck please if you will." “I have no idea what to tell you," the doctor said. "There's nothing about it in my books," he said as he frantically searched all his medical reference books. "I can make a well educated guess though. Based on life and all my previous experience I can tell you that your leg seems to be broke in three places." ( HEY, WE WARNED YOU! )
