I sing with the Northern Lights chorus --
http://northernlightschorus.com -- we're a men's chorus of about 50
that sings four part close harmony. We're a chapter of the Barbershop
Harmony Society, but we sing all kinds of different music, not just
the stuff that's 100 years old.

We've earned silver medals at our last four appearances at the
International Convention that takes place annually -- this is our
third CD that we're working on. Anyway, more info on the web site.

We just had our Annual Christmas show, but we are performing up in
Barrie in January, then there's our Annual show in April at the
Toronto Centre for the Arts.
