Windsor Chapter


Uncle Sam Night in January in Windsor is always a great draw and this year was no exception. We hosted 89 singers including quartets headed by our own Pioneer District Champions “Chordiology” followed by “Singing with Dad” and “Moxy” It doesn’t get much better than that. Windsor contributed with their own “Desperate Measures” plus 3 pickups quartets.

Chouses got into the act with Windsor, Grosse Pointe, Macomb and DOC doing their bit. Not to be outdone, Doran did his own unique “Chorus Contest” which allowed everyone in the room to be on stage. Judging by the name selection by these choruses they all sang like birds. The food was great and hopefully everyone got their fill, even though it was a little late.


Windsor is so proud to host this fine evening each year and it truly brought back memories of the old days when Chapter visitations were the norm.

What made this evening even more special was the presence of no less than 4 “Hall of Famers”. Thanks so much for coming out.

John Wearing brought us up to date concerning Russ Seely’s recovery from recent surgery. Russ, we really missed you and look forward to seeing you in Windsor real soon. I think John Wade could benefit by your presence. His attempts at singing Lead made us realize that he really does belong as a Bass. Just kidding John.

Thanks to all who assisted in making this evening happen and a special thanks goes out to our own Doran for doing such a fine job as MC. After a full evening of singing this “young” man was up at 5:00 am in order to board a plane for San Antonio Texas. Good job Doran.

Mark your calendars for next year as the date is always the same, the third Friday in January. Don’t miss it.
