Male Barbershop Quartet

Lead: Roy Frisby. Tenor: Herman Struble. Baritone: Frank Thorne. Bass: Jimmy Doyle.

Roy Frisby enjoyed singing as a young man and made some extra money as a professional singer while attending high school and college. He studied voice at the Indianapolis Conservatory of Music.

The quartet rehearsed about eight hours a week in 1942 to prepare for that year's SPEBSQSA national contest in Grand Rapids, MI. Sixty quartets competed; there was no preliminary round of competition. The quartet appeared in straw hats, canes, suits, and spats; some quartets objected to their "fancy attire".

A Cappella.
