Senior Moments

These gentlemen have over 100 years of Barbershop singing.
Bob Grigsby, the tenor, has logged 51 years. -- Bill Sachs, the baritone, 28 years.
Gene Melick, the lead, has 22 years. -- The bass, Gerry Swank, 12-years.
The Senior Moments' occur as they try to:
Remember first words to songs, the key, special chords, etc.
In fact, no member can say they did not forget something at one time or another.
They have discovered that traveling together to a performance is a way to show up at the same place and on time.
Gene has the best memory of the four, always remembers THE WORDS, and THE NOTES!
Bill, a retired high-school English teacher, sometimes lapses into Shakespearian English.
Bob may lapse into mid-song-reveries of going buffalo shooting with his father as a boy.
Gerry, an ex- pilot, will throw gestures into the song that resemble aeronautic maneuvers.
