I’m getting together with 3 other members of the Barbershop Harmony Society to form a quartet. We still can’t think of a good name for the group. Any good suggestions? It needs to be a name that isn’t already taken. FYI we are 4 men in our 30s, which makes us the 4 youngest members of our local chapter. We all work in engineering/tech/science fields, and based in Huntsville, Alabama (though I don’t think any of us are Alabama natives). ---
