      they aint the only quartet, stormfront did a rendition of bohemian rhapsody. the bass of that quartet used to be a tennor back in the 90's or something and then became a bass. And there might be one or two other quartets but they may not even be involved in the BHS (such as Sonny vande putte) and so on but he is a one man quartet.
