Bill Biffle

Vote for Bill Biffle to Win


Mutual of Omaha TV Spot

Our own President Bill Biffle has a chance to win a plug for barbershop in Mutual of Omaha's 2011 national TV commercial campaign "Aha! Moments"!  He was named one of 74 semi-finalists out of 1,000 entries for his recording of what barbershop has meant in his life. 

You can see Bill's entry and vote by clicking HERE.

First-round voting is from October 1st -15th.  Check the website on October 18th to see if he made it to the Top 25 (we'll update you in future issues of LiveWire). Then, final-round voting is from October  18th - 31st.  Unlike many other contests of this type, you can only vote for Bill once in each round.

Please send this link out to all your friends, family and co-workers - we could get Bill thousands of votes if we send this out and talk it up at meetings and rehearsals!  Go, Bill!  Go, Barbershop!

Monkey Magic Gets Sony Recording

Deal for Christmas

Monkey Magic3


The 2008 BABS Champion and International Barbershop Harmony Society Quarterfinalists and Collegiate Finalists Monkey Magic have been signed to record a Christmas album by Sony Music's new Arista UK label. Tenor Alan Hughes announced that Monkey Magic will be releasing "The Great British Barbershop Boys - Christmas Time" on December 6.

 

Monkey Magic is naturally extremely excited about this opportunity, and is encouraging all fans and supporters of the quartet to pre-order the album on Amazon.co.uk.  Strong pre-order numbers obviously will help the album climb in Amazon UK's album rankings and provide increased publicity for barbershop!

 
Holiday Wreath


Many Christmas titles are available for sale from the Harmony Marketplace.  Get your music ordered now - avoid the last minute rush!
