Barbershop chorus says farewell to a musical era younger, voices. Young people dont have any place to hear and learn about barbershop music, says Celia, who heard his first quartet on the Ed Sullivan Show and who sang with his father. Some members blame themselves for their population problems. 'e dont shut other people out, but weve become so close-knit, we just dont meet other people to bring them in, says Jim Hawthorne, a Holmdel resident and a Continued from Page 1C barbershop choruses, the more the better. Smaller groups have a difficult time attracting serious singers, and few voices produce a thinner sound.

The more sound you generate the more talent you have and the more fun it is. says Paul Reussille, director of the Raritan chapter. The men offer several reasons for their difficulty in attracting new, and especially Raritan member for 10 years who adds that many of the men and their wives form their social lives around the chorus. Unfortunately, the men have not had much to celebrate recently. Several members have retired and moved away in the last few years, and a handful of members also have died.

The members ages range from 29 to 75. Dwindling memberships are not unique to this area. Ray Heller, manager of communications for the national bar-bership singing society in Wisconsin, says about 37,000 men sing in quartets or choruses worldwide in 830 chapters. While more and more Europeans are joining barbershop singing groups, Americans are losing interest In its 50th anniversary year, the national society is studying why fewer people are interested in barbershop singing, Heller says. Rather than wait for the studys results, the two local chapters have decided to face the inevitable.

At tomorrows con- cert, which starts at 8 p.m. with tickets costing $7, the groups will perform God Bless America together, while singing the rest of concert separately. Old habits die hard. Certainly theres a feeling we would like to stay as we are. Its going to hurt for a while, Celia says.

Kennedys Children touches young actors lives ing the play, Patrick said last week from his New York office. The actors agree; they are living proof. And they want their 1980s peers in the audience to experience the same angst and empathy that grew in them over the last few weeks of rehearsals. I want the young ones to say, God, this really happened, says Anthony Rapisarda of Monmouth Beach, who plays the homosexual playwright I want them to be more aware because there will never be a time like that Its a piece of history that will never be repeated. No one got away from the 60s.

But the most important element of the presentation was the home movies Yazijian showed of Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Many of the students had never seen Kennedys assassination before. In a certain part of my speech, I get teary-eyed, says Melissa Hunt, who plays Wanda, the Kennedy worshiper.

I had been looking for a week and a half to find a traumatic experience. But when I saw that thing, I just felt so there, she says. A month ago, Wieske says she thought of the people from the 60s as "a bunch of wackos. Now the students say they wish they shared their characters committment. Wieske says that one day last week she tried frantically to call a television talk show to say something that would make an impact on those people.

Hunt now calls the day Kennedy was shot the most important day of my life, even though she was bom five years after he died. Morrison and the actors expect some of their audience to be students who, like the cast, have no personal basis for understanding the play. That does not worry them, or the author, Robert Patrick, who will come to the college on opening night to host a question-and-answer period. Like any good play, its not really about the 60s or the 70s or the 1500s. Its about people in a particular place and at a particular time going through something that has affected them strongly.

Not knowing about the 60s is not going to interfere with enjoy playwright County librarys 14th annual jazz week features pianist Tyner quarters in Manalapan, saxophonist and clarinetist Richard Reiter will perform in concert with Sue Williams on bass, Connie Atkinson on drums, and famed pianist Richard Schulman.
