Okay, I might as well admit to it - I used to sing with the Sweet Adelines as well, back in the 1970's. I belonged to a small group, about 22 of us including two of my sisters. I sang tenor, one sister sang baritone, and the other sang lead. We tried to get my other sister in, to sing bass so we could make a quartet, but it didn't work out. My brother was at one time in SPEBSQA(?) - the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America.

I left primarily because the rehearsals were too late for me - till 11pm and I lived 45 min away. I had to be up at 5am for work. 5 hrs sleep just wasn't enough for me, shrug...
