One more memory from that 'Old 2001 VHS video.' The Ivory Lady, Pat Davis, creates a segway for Bud Voorhees and Tom Walrath to do their rendition of Bud and Lou; "Who's On First." Enjoy

Pat Davis plays a medley of Scott Joplin in our 2001 Spring Concert, Charlie Jacobson, her former fellow teacher, and our Chorus Director at the time, introduces Pat, The Ivory Lady.

We recently converted an old (relatively speaking) VHS video tape from our 2001 Spring Concert. We will share a few clips for your enjoyment.

It is with heavy heart that we share:

The heavenly choir is hitting a high note🎵with its newest accompanist — Pat Davis a.k.a. “The Ivory Lady”🎹 of Wellsboro, who passed away peacefully last night, listening to some of her favorite tunes, surrounded by loved ones. 🎶🕊️💕

We will share Mom’s obituary and life celebration plans when they are finalized. Thank you for the outpouring of love & support we have received for this wonderful, inspiring woman!🌟

As Shakespeare said (and Mom agreed): “If music be the food of love, play on!” 🎹🪽💝

On March 11, 2026 8 members of the Men’s Chorus sang few Barbershop Quartet songs for the Wednesday Morning Musicals. Home Page Network featured us singing “Goodbye My Coney Island Baby” in their March 12 news segment.

Just in case you are interested, a small group of us (double quartet) from the chorus have been invited to do a program of Barbershop Quartet tunes for the Wednesday Morning Musicals tomorrow @10:15 at the Gmeiner Center, Wellsboro. If I posted this correct, the artical published by the Wellsboro Gazette will introduce more details.

P.s. I guess I didn’t DO it correctly, so, I’ll try this for more info:

The Wednesday Morning Musicales will host eight members of the Wellsboro Men’s Chorus who will entertain on Wednesday, March 11 at 10:15 a.m. at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main St., Wellsboro.

The Wellsboro Men’s Chorus members who will be performing are Steve Marshall and Al Morrow on high voice tenor I, Bud Voorhees and Mark Wood on melody: tenor II, baritone singers will be Matthias Simonis and Keith Thorne, and on bass will be Tom Reindl and John Swanson.

Barbershop groups sing in close harmony, wear straw hats and bowties. It is one of the earliest forms of music to originate in North America. The music is usually sung as a quartet.

This group will present a program of barbershop music and will include song favorites such as “Coney Island Baby,” “A Bicycle Built for Two,” “In the Good Old Summertime” and “Wild Irish Rose” to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Many other songs will be presented to the Musicales.

Wellsboro Men’s Chorus welcomes all men of the surrounding areas to join. They perform throughout the year at local community events and churches. The group offers scholarships to college bound students who wish to further their music studies.

Wednesday Morning Musicales meets on the second Wednesday or each month, September through May. The meetings are free and open to the public.

Following a friendly wager, Al points to the error of Bud's ways, leaving Bud to swallow his pride, pay for a cup of coffee, and make an appointment with his Optometrist.
It’s Hard to Be Humble

When purging some of my old photos I ran across a few of 2019 pre-spring concert rehearsal at the Deanne center, and one post-rehearsal afterglow at the Penn Wells Hotel where we dust off a few old chorus favorites. Enjoy our memories of yesteryear.
Men, perhaps you have considered joining the Wellsboro Men’s Chorus, “BUT” you feared your voice isn’t good enough, well our goal is to rehearse until we ALL blend together into one chorus sound, not 25 soloists.
Or, perhaps you feared you don’t know the songs and don’t want to sound off to the guys next to you, again, that is why we sometimes rehearse our songs 15-20 times before we perform them for the public. Perhaps you don’t read music (please keep this a secret, less than 1/2 of the men truly read music, the rest of us follow the notes up and down and listen carefully to the guys around us, sorta-mostly).
Come as you are, we’ll gently train-you-up, rehearsals are every Thursday 8:30pm at the Deanne Center, second floor. On the first Thursday of every month January, February, March, we rehearse at the Penn Wells Hotel Red Room.
