Where Do Singing Valentines Come From
No one knows for sure how long barbershop quartets have been delivering
Singing Valentines. Perhaps the idea originated about the time when
singing telegrams were popular. In both cases, the message was
personalized far beyond what mere words on a card could convey.
In the late 1980s, the Santa Rosa, Calif., Chapter decided to prepare a
manual for other chapters to use. After several years, the chapter gave
printing and distribution rights of the manual to the Society. This manual
is an outgrowth of those early efforts.
Singing Valentines have steadily increased in number as more and more
Society chapters have discovered the concept to offer one of the most
delightful, entertaining, enjoyable, and profitable ventures in
barbershopping.
