Jerry--

I can imagine the difficulty of the search. After all, there's even a play called "Lend Me A Tenor". I bet you and I would both like it--or have you already seen it?

What's involved in being a tenor in your group--does that just mean the highest voice?

I can't remember what it means in bluegrass--maybe there's tenor and high tenor.


I've had occasion to sing tenor fairly often--mostly second tenor. I even wound up singing alto once in church--it was falsetto all the way--and way up in the treble clef. (God bless the Beach Boys).

I used to volunteer to sing tenor in madrigals all the time--there were usually enough guys to sing bass--and the tenor part was often more interesting than the bass. Though sometimes all the parts had a lot of meat to them. Those are the best.
