Singing the high part is Bill Evans. Bill was brought up on barbershop harmony when his Father, O. B. and his Uncle Bob sang in a Barbershop Quartet, The Akro-Lads. He didn't join the society until 1976 and had been a member of the Wayneaires Chorus and now is a member of the Akron Derbytown Chorus. Bill's first quartet experience was singing with his Father singing Bass, Brother David, Baritone, a real great friend Eddie Hughes singing Tenor and Bill singing Lead. He has also sang in two other quartets, singing bass in one and baritone in the other. Bill's accomplishments include singing in The Music Man twice with Accent and once with his first Quartet, The Beginning Sound. He also was a River City Kid way back in the early 1970's. Okay, so now you have a rough idea how old this guy really is, although he won't admit it. He has held many jobs in the Wayneaires Chorus. He was music vice-president, show chairman, membership vice-president, section leader for bass, baritone and tenor sections, assistant director and director of the chorus. This chorus is now defunct, but holds a lot of great memories for him. Bill works at Frito-Lay in the Shipping Department. You really can't tell if he is shipping out more than he eats. He has been a resident of Wooster, Ohio, for the past 23 years and thanks his biggest fans, Lucy, his wife, and their six wonderful children. Bill's youngest son Justin will probably follow in his footsteps becoming a third generation barbershopper.
