Baritone_ Wayne Hodgson has been married to Jill for 31 years. They have three grown sons and four grandchildren. Wayne pays the bills by building cabinets. In his younger days he did a lot of singing in the field of Southern Gospel, but is a relative newcomer to Barbershop harmony. Although he admits he has a lot to learn, he’s enjoying the journey, and considers himself blessed to sing with this group of guys.


Bass_ Al Smith lives in Lowell with his wife, Cindy, and two teenage boys Todd and Chris. He rehearses with the Great Lakes Chorus in Grand Rapids on Tuesday evenings, church choir on Wednesdays and “Showtime” on Thursdays, so there is lots of free time. (WHAT??). Al retired from United Airlines in 2005, but wants to continue working for a few more years. “Somebody’s got to pay for all this stuff.”


Lead_ Tom Weidner lives in Jenison with his wife Cindy and two sons Josh and Jake. He has been involved with the Great Lakes Chorus since the late 1980’s having sung with them in the International Chorus competition on several occasions. He is very happy to be singing with “Showtime.” Tom works in the Computer and Medical Billing Industries and is also owner of a West Michigan contracting company called Riverock Surfacing Company.


Tenor_ Jim Johnson has been singing barbershop music for many years. During this time he has directed three Barbershop choruses, one Sweet Adelines chorus, sung in three District Champion quartets and competed in the International Quartet competition on four different occasions. This is also his third time to sing in a quartet winning the Bush League Contest. Jim and his wife Julie are both retired and love to travel in their motor home with their Airdale, Mayze.
