Forest Grove was Awesome

Realtime sang three shows as headliners at the "Ballad Town USA" barbershop quartet contest this past weekend in Forest Grove, Oregon. We've been there many times together and in other quartets, and it's always a great time.

It was our first show where we had Take 5 available, and we sold out! I guess we should have tried to pack more into the Cessna. Also a big moment - Doug signed *his own picture* on a Realtime CD for the first time!

Thanks to the West Side Singers for putting on such a fantastic event.

Take 5 DONE!

Yup, it's done, and we've got them in our hands, ready to ship! Take 5, our third CD, is no longer an abstract notion. It is tiny pits on plastic circles.

Nice reviews from sweeps

Looks like the audience liked us!

Northwest Sweeps Results

And the final standings for NW Sweeps, in reverse order:

3. V-Chords
2. Baudboys
1. Realtime

Yup, we won! I was really impressed with the performances of both the V-Chords, who sang really well, and the Baud Boys who sang better than ever and won audience favorite. Both truly awesome music groups, and great guys to hang around with. And that goes for all the groups really - the Sweeps is a terrific place to hang out with other musicians and just have a great time.

Looking forward to the national finals in May! Predictions anyone?
