Leisure Time
As their name indicates, Leisure Time Quartet is four guys who happen to have time on their hands because they are all retired. They are members of the Bismarck-Manda Northern Lights Barbershop Chorus, so in addition to weekly chorus rehearsals, they dedicate time to honing their singing craft as a quartet. Leisure Time sings for birthday parties, dinners, and almost anything that doesn’t require the participation of the whole chorus. Randy Nelson sings lead, Dave Helvig is the baritone, Ken Purdy sings bass, and when Scott Houser retired a year ago, he met the requirements to join the quartet singing tenor.
