Northern California's only chartered quartet club since 1998.  Meetings held the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at Harry's Hofbrau, Saratoga Ave. at Keily in San Jose, CA
Dinner @ 6:00 P.M., followed by song and fellowship. 

The Craft Session…
Following The Old Songs, your webmeister delivered a craft session on singing vowels correctly, illustrating the difference between miner chords and minor chords… miner chords defined as singing from a deep hole in the ground versus minor chords, wherein the third above the root is flatted a half step. Ah, the things we learn at our meetings! President Steve awarded Jordan Makower his 13 year member certificate.  Woodshed proprietor Dennis Baker brought us a 1918 melody, Belgian Rose.  This delightful tune has overtones of WW1. As part of our educational program, we learned of the origin of french-fries, which Belgian soldiers created in the trenches during  WW1. Knowledge is power!  Casey Parker announced the upcoming anniversary picnic to be held in Morgan Hill on Sunday, April 27.  The DQ Four sang from their contest repertoire, which brought thunderous applause.  We sang our newest old song Only You, a doo-wop favorite from 1955.  Quartets rang through the evening ending with some fierce tag singing.
