Description
From that start, the Barbershop Harmony Society has grown into the world's largest all-male singing organization with more than 32,000 singers in over 825 chapters in the United States and Canada. Another 4,000 Barbershoppers are affiliated with organizations in Australia, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa and Sweden. A Little Downeasters History Geographically, the Barbershop Harmony Society is comprised of 17 districts.
SPEBSQSA was founded in 1938, when Tulsa, Oklahoma tax attorney Owen C. Cash ran into a fellow Tulsan, investment banker Rupert I. Hall in a hotel in Kansas City, stranded when a storm closed the airport. Striking up a few chords, the men bemoaned the decline of that all-American institution, the barbershop quartet. Determined to stem that decline, they returned home and wrote a letter to friends, inviting them to an informal songfest on the roof garden of the Tulsa Club on Monday, April 11, 1938.
