The quartet features George Bartlett, tenor, Don Stewart, Lead, Herb Hebner, Bass, and Steve Sutherland, baritone. We hail from Southeastern Michigan. George lives in Southfield, Don in Walled Lake, Herb in Westland, and Steve in Canton. Our contact man is Don (he's in the phone book), but since you're reading this here, Steve's e-mail address is probably your easier contact. (see the bottom of the page)
The quartet has sung together since 1977, forming back when we were... well let's say younger. Over the years we have enjoyed competition where we placed as high as second in our district (Pioneer, which is Michigan and Windsor, Ontario) missing first place by only two points!

In 1999 George Bartlett our original tenor stepped out of the quartet and Jim Kunz joined us. Jim's the tall one which made Don look short!
