I'm in a quartet again

After a long hiatus from my last quartet (the Humbugs... no pseudo-spoonerisms please), I have now found myself singing baritone again in a quartet. Chameleon was looking for a new singer and asked me to audition, at the time not knowing whether I might sing lead (which I sing in the Northern Lights) or baritone (which is what I sang in the Humbugs). Following a fairly lengthy audition process (largely because our schedules conspired against us in quite a serious way) we decided that the sound was best with me singing baritone and Dave continuing to sing lead. He's got a real clarion quality to his voice which suits lead singing in the barbershop style, while I have a rounder and broader sounding voice (these adjectives might sound strange to non-singers) which suits the baritone part. I tried to convince the "boys" (I am the oldest in the quartet by a good margin, but they're not really boys... I just call them that) that one thing to consider is that I'd likely learn the lead line quite quickly, while the baritone line for songs(which is considered by most to be fairly tricky in this style) might take me longer to learn. They somehow were convinced that it wouldn't be a problem and I would learn quickly enough. We'll see!
