BOB SHAFFER - Bari
A
barbershopper for 14 years, Bob was first introduced
to quartet singing in a church choir quartet known
as "Four All Time". He was a lead back
in those days, but never seemed to get the hang of getting
his fellow singers to follow him. Bob sang tenor
with "Four Guys From Mesa", lead and then
baritone with "love@home", and bass with "Desert
Song" and "4 All Time". Having tried
all four parts out, he decided that baritone, in
spite of the ridicule heaped upon such singers, was the
part for him. Bob is very active in the management
of the Mesa Lamplighters. He is married to his best
friend, the beautiful Jenifer, and they have a cute teen-age
daughter Katie (back off, boys!).

Chorus, and is currently chapter president.

ANDY HARRY - Tenor
A barbershopper for 14 years, Andy first sang Bass with a chorus
in the Seattle area before moving to Arizona and upgrading to
Tenor(!). Participating in church choirs
and community choirs since he was 25 years old he has been singing for, oh, a
long time. He first heard barbershop
harmonies as a child at family gatherings when his father and uncles, all
barbershoppers them- selves, sang about Old Mill Streams or someone named Lida
Rose. Andy is the senior member of the
quartet and the newest daddy - with a beautiful 3-year-old daughter. Really
cute! The daughter-that is! Apparently the cute genes skipped his
generation.
