Barbershop EXTRAVAGANZA

Yes, it's that time again . . . the men's district barbershop competition in Chattanooga, TN. Once again, I find myself surrounded by men in matching suits, who are standing around in little circles, one ear plugged, singing tags about girls in gingham gowns and the South.

I am forced to admit that this year I actually participated in the tag singing. My "circle" included myself, two rather inebriated girls that I know from my region, and a tone-deaf baritone.

Good times.
