Tony Stefano joined the Barbershop, heavenly chorus on December 6, 2003
Yes, Tony Stefano was the consummate Barbershop Bari for 20 plus years. Barbershopping, and music in general, was a great part of Tony's life here on earth, and believing as we all do that there must be music in heaven, we all know that he must certainly be continuing his pursuit of the perfect chord. Tony was a long time member of the Greater Pittsburgh Chapter. He was elected to the Greater Pittsburgh Hall Of Fame in 1992. He was probably best known as bulletin editor of the Pitchburgh Press, having served as editor for the years 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1990, 1995 & 1997. In 1984, he was awarded Johnny Appleseed District, Bulletin Editor of the Year. When not serving as editor, Tony was a constant contributor to the Pitchburgh Press, often submitting over 1/2 of the articles in many issues. His subject matter covered all aspects of Barbershopping and music theory. We'll all miss you, Tony!!
"When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced....Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you Rejoice.". . . . Cherokee Proverb
A Baritone stood at the Golden Gate,
His head was bent and low
He meekly asked the man of fate,
Which way he should go.
"What have you done?" St. Peter asked
"To gain admittance here?"
"I've been a Barbershop Bari" he said,
"For many and many a year."
St. Peter opened wide the door and
Gently pressed the bell,
"Enter, Sir and choose your harp,
You've had your share of hell."
