Fred E Weatherley and Harold Fraser Simpson wrote some wonderful songs
that would lend themselves to BBS arrangement.

You can Roses of Picardy by contacting the SPEBSQSA in the US. Ask for Ruth
Marks when you do. As far as the others, your best bet may be to get someone
to arrange them for you. You can contact one of the US barbershop arrarngers
at Gold Silver Bronze Music at gold...@interacces.com. His name is Jay
Giallombardo. They'll help you as best they can there. If you have some
really top arrnagers in Europe, you can get ahold of them if you want. I'm
just letting you know from a US standpoint. sorry i can't be of more help.

Jay would be very interested in pursuing arrangements by these composers. If
you have a source for the sheet music (we can help you out with compensation
towards purchase/borrowing, etc. and postage to the U.S.), Jay would be eager
to look the sheet music over, with the creation of BBS arrangements in mind.
He's always on the lookout for new arrangement sources/ideas, with either
specifically contest and/or show performance in mind.
I'll be happy to help facilitate your request in any way I can. Keep me
posted with any comments or ideas along these lines.

"Old Dutch" was sung in the BABS contest several years ago by eventual
winner The Hallmark of Harmony Chorus of Sheffield, John Grant Director.
