We
have had too many requests to sing at funerals in the past few
months and our most recent Celebration of Life was for Jack Ware.
Jack was not much of a chorus guy, but, loved quarteting. He sang
Lead in the "Smoky And The Bandits" for over 20 years. He was one
of those singers that become a total different person once he stepped
on stage. Normally a quiet unassuming guy he became a whimsical
fun loving personality when he got behind the mic.
The "Bandits", as he called them, derived their name from the fact that
he was a State Police Trooper and he said the other three guys looked
like bandits. The quartet traveled all over the State and
ventured into neighboring States on occasion and was one of the
longest standing Registered Quartets.
