THE BARBERSHOP LEAD'S CREED
by Earl McGhee
1 . I will constantly remind myself, and all others, that I am the natural center of the quartet or chorus.
2. I will never be tempted to try to sing Tenor, Baritone or Bass, for I can carry a tune.
3. I will strive to never drop pitch, for I grow weary of hearing the Bass whine that I am forcing him to go too low. Isn't that where he's supposed to go?
4. I will make no attempt to understand why the Tenor sings way up there.
5. I will take command of the melody and the other three parts can darn well harmonize with whatever I'm singing.
6. I will treat the Baritone with kindness, for he is a sensitive fellow and cannot help making those strange sounds.
7. I will smile wider and make more gestures than the other singers, for mine is the part that everyone listens to.
8. I will, on rare occasions, allow the Bass to take the melody, bearing in mind that he can't be expected to handle it for long.
9. I will allow the harmony parts to take a swipe now and then. It's all they have.
10. I vow to remain generous, modest and unspoiled by acclaim.

I live, I work, I teach, I sing. I probably do some other stuff that doesn't fall into those categories. My hubby, Jason, and I just bought a home in Elmira, NY. We are the proud parents of a dog and a cat. I sing with an a capella women's barbershop chorus, Crystal Chords and a quartet, Affinity. We are affiliated with Harmony Inc. If you like to sing, come check us out. We're a fun bunch.
