Program
The Barbershop Quartet “Firestorm”
We were treated to a
fantastic performance from our own Glen Bahr and his barbershop quartet
“Firestorm” which is part of the New Horizons Barbershop Chorus chapter. Joining Glen were Art Zelesnlkar, Chuck
Harter and Peter Bleiberg. They
explained some of the history behind barbershop quartets and performed a
delightful medley of songs ranging from those of the heart, Christmas songs and
patriotic. Speaking of history,
did you know that another Rotarian, Dick Kahler, was a barbershopper for 30
years? Dick even “jammed” a bit with Firestorm at the end of the meeting.
Thank you gentlemen for a
wonderful performance.
