Quartets

Bingo Brothers



John Casey (Silver Medallist tenor of Vaudeville) was the motivator in getting The Bingo Brothers Barbershop Quartet (later shortened to Bingo Brothers) off the ground. John called Dennis Malone (Gold Medallist baritone of The Side Street Ramblers) and they both contacted Gary Parker (Gold Medallist bass of the Dealer's Choice) who was then living in Richmond, VA. With a "go" from Gary, the trio started looking for a lead.

Don Clause suggested Lynn Conaway (District Champ and Top-20 lead with Tradewinds). After talking with Lynn, things progressed to the point where the foursome started singing together regularly and doing shows, though stretched across several states -- living in Richmond, Northern Virginia, Baltimore, MD and Lancaster, PA. The quartet competed in New Orleans (1992) where they finished 8th. Soon after, Lynn left the quartet and the search began for his replacement.

John's sister, suggested a fantastic young 19-year old kid she had heard named Fred Womer (later became a District Champ and Top-20 lead with Premiere). Fred joined up and the quartet quickly resumed. They competed in Pittsburgh (1994) where they finished 10th. Soon thereafter, the quartet retired. They will always be remembered for Gary's Texan wit and their popular song, "Ride Red, Ride."
