Me:  bass or baritone.  You:  bass (if I'm baritone), baritone (if I'm 
bass), lead, or tenor--times three.

I love the rich, dense blend of closely harmonized voices a cappella.  
And I wonder aloud:  Might I really find three other guys around here
to form a barbershop quartet with, for the sake of our own entertainment?
(Primarily for that sake, that is--if people liked us enough to throw
money, I wouldn't duck.)  If not a traditional barbershop quartet, then 
perhaps something with mixed men's and women's voices?  I guess even a 
little less or more than four-person membership would be possible in 
that case (depending on the availability of sheet music).

I carry a tune strongly, harmonize well, play decent (rehearsal) piano,
and have outstanding general musicianship.  I warn you, though, that I 
have no experience accessing vocal sheet music of the barbershop kind.

HOWEVER, I _am_ well prepared to handle fame.
