A local barbershop chorus is winning the hearts of many people in our area with their natural ability to make someone smile with a song.

The East Texas Men in Harmony represent 17 towns in the greater Tyler area, a brotherhood bonded by singing. The men range in ages from 14 to 94.

"I've been in this for 62 years and I've never met a barbershopper I didn't like," said Founder Duane Lunday. "There is something special about a guy that will sing about mom and love and girlfriends and June and moon and croon."

For nine years now, the group has entertained children, families and especially, that special someone. 

"We had one quartet that went to a mechanic garage and sang to the owner of the garage and he said 'you guys just blew your Christmas bonus,'" laughed Lunday. 

A popular tune for the group is singing valentines.

"We've had a lot of people fanning and there has been a few where there have been proposals," said Bryan Black, Vice President of Marketing.

While majority of the men have been singing for years, they're always looking for new talent.

"It's not just the music that I enjoy, but I've also made some great friends and I almost consider these guys brothers after only two years," said chorus member John Berry.

From two years experience to 62 years, Lunday says 'there's some ham in all of them'.

"We love to get in front of an audience and perform. People in the audience will say 'oh we really enjoyed it,' we say 'thank you that's our paycheck,' he smiled
