Chordiology

Chordiology was founded during the last century, and some of the guys look it.  Over the years, old members quit, new members quit, and old members joined again.  If this seems confusing, then you are beginning to understand Chordiology.  The newest new member is Clifton Dake, the tenor.  Cliff sells something for some company, at least that what's he tells everyone.  When he's not working or singing tenor, Cliff drives a Harley, so he can't hear very well anymore.  The newest old member is Rob Pettigrew, the baritone.  Rob quit the quartet late last century.  His life as a computer guy doing computer stuff for the University of Michigan was so bad that he begged the guys to let him back into the quartet.  When he's not singing baritone and doing computer stuff, Rob raises chickens and eats eggs.   He eats lots of eggs.  He gives lots of eggs away, too.  If you tell him he's a good baritone, he'll give you an egg.  If you tell him that he sings flat, he'll hit you with an egg.   One of the old members, Paul Ellinger sings lead.  Paul sells insurance out of the insurance agency that he started somewhere.  His idea to corner the market is that his agency claims to be honest.  No, really, their motto has the words insurance and honesty in the same sentence.  So if you need to insure something, like the Brooklyn Bridge, Paul is your man.  When he's not singing lead or selling insurance, Paul sings in another group that likes to sing songs that you know.   The oldest old member is Dave Spizarny, the bass.  Dave looks at pictures and makes lots of money, so it's hard to make fun of his job.  When he's not singing bass, Dave likes to look at more pictures and make more money.  But if you ask him to loan you money, he’ll get Rob to hit you with an egg.  We hope you like these guys, and even if you don't, say that you do.  Eggs stains are hard to remove.
