COEUR d'ALENE - The Lake City Harmonizers aren't picky.

They'll sing pretty much anywhere, anytime.

Need the national anthem sung? How about a Valentine's Day quartet special delivery? Maybe a concert of old-time favorites?

"Anywhere somebody blows a pitch, we'll sing a song," said Ron Reed, director of the men's singing group.

The Harmonizers are planning to perform their annual "Spring Fling" cabaret dinner show at 7 p.m. April 10 at Lake City Community Church.

For $13, you'll get a spaghetti dinner served by singing waiters, performances by choruses and quartets, a chance to win prizes and a way to "celebrate the end of a long winter, and the beginning of a bright new spring." The Sweet Adelines will stop in, too, as part of the two-hour program.

That's a pretty good deal, says Reed.

Proceeds go to help the nonprofit cover costs for uniforms, traveling expenses when competing in regional music contests, and also allow the Harmonizers to donate to other nonprofits like Children's Village.

"It's just an all-around good time for everybody," he said.

The 45-member group, many of them seniors, continues to prove a popular attraction.

Terry Sverdsten of Cataldo is a seven-year member.

"I was glad to try out and here I am," the former logger said. "They're just a fun-loving bunch. They really are upbeat and really trying to help out the community."

Reed, a six-year member, is a college music major with a love for barbershop quartets and acapella singing.

"It's a pure American art form, it didn't come from any other country," he said. "It was born, bred and raised right here in the good ol' United States."

The Harmonizers have about 30 or so songs in its repertoire - including "My Wild Irish Rose," "Heart of my Heart," and "Sweet and Lovely" - so members come to rehearsals prepared, mentally and physically, to sing.

"We like to cater to those old songs," Reed said.

"We take very near and dear to heart the right notes," Reed said.

Anyone is welcome to try out.

"Most of our people can't read music. They go by rote," he said.

Some Harmonizers have surprised themselves.

"They really develop into some nice bass voices and tenor voices they didn't even know they had," Reed said.
