SINGING VALENTINES --- What's that all about? On, or near "Valentine's Day", February 14, quartets from the Denver MountainAires Barbershop Chorus will deliver singing valentines around the Denver area. The sweetie/recipient will receive a silk rose, a token box of chocolates (the chocolates are real), and two love songs by a barbershop quartet. The sender can also include a personal message on the card. The location is usually at a home, at work, or in a restaurant, but can be almost anywhere. Not uncommon: Singing to a teacher, and the whole class. Singing to someone in an office, with the corridor full of people, and heads leaning out of doorways and over cubicle partitions. Singing sweetly to some sweaty guy in a warehouse machine shop (hey, the sentiment is from his gal, not from the quartet personally!) Yes, ladies can and do send them to their boyfriends and husbands. ------- From the singer's perspective: The quartet learns (at least) two fairly simple songs: Heart Of My Heart Let Me Call You Sweetheart Also used are: "I Love You Truly" (think cop Bert and taxi driver Ernie singing to Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed in the movie "It's A Wonderful Life") "I'll Send You Roses Forever" (a beautiful, more difficult song introduced to the Rocky Mtn District some years ago.) (And others. PoleCats. ... ) If you are in a regular registered quartet, let Jack Cozzens know what days and times you will be available to sing. If not in a registered quartet but would like to sing/deliver singing valentines, let Jack know, so he can put you together to form a valentine quartet. ************* text from the flyer - Jan/Feb 2011 ************************ A Singing Valentine is the Sound of Love DENVER MOUNTAINAIRES BARBERSHOP CHAPTER WE'LL DELIVER FEBRUARY 12TH FEBRUARY 13TH FEBRUARY 14TH Our quartets will sing for your sweetheart anywhere you want us to!
