Editorial Introduction
-John KnuevenThis issue is a special
edition which is intended
to be an addendum to
the previous Memorial to
Bix Doughty.
After
reviewing my files and
emails in preparation for
the next WH issue, I
discovered
(to
my
complete horror!) that I
had missed more than a
few submitted inputs to Bix’s issue. In order
to correct this error, but without creating a
double sized WH, I have decided to produce
this addendum. Please consider it a “chapter
2” of the first edition. It has also given me
the opportunity to include a few more
pictures from the many I received.

John,
… (details of Bix’s memorial services deleted) …
And may I add - thank you so much for all the love
and support that you, his quartets, the Jubil-Aires
and the Harmony Heritage Singers gave to Bix over
the years. Barbershop singing became Bix's passion
when he re-discovered it in the 90's. (His niece
recalls taking him to a concert and claims that's when
he was bitten by the barbershop bug, although I
recall him having some barbershop phonograph
records in my youth.) Singing kept Bix young at
heart and added years to his life - it was the reason
we were all able to enjoy his presence for as long as
we were able.
Thank you for that,
Jonathan Doughty
(Bix's youngest)

And to those of you who I missed
publishing the first time thru, my most
sincere apologies.
I always enjoyed singing "Let the Lower Lights be
Burning" with Bix. I think he was an inspiration to all
of us.

John,
At a recent Jube practice, I announced my little
booklet about my music experience over the last
ten years. A couple of those pages refer to the
quartet called the Tripods that Bix and I were
in, and which performed at the Jubil-Aire Irish
Day party one year.

This is a very nice tribute Bert. Bix sounds like a
person that I would've liked to have known.
Thanks for including me on this email

[Editor: See the two parody songs from Don’s
booklet that the Tripods performed. I have
included them as the last two pages of this
addendum (Peg-O-My-Heart and Peggy

Gentlemen,
I’ve made an initial contribution to adding Bix
Doughty’s name to the “Keep A Melody Ringing”
plaques in the Harmony Foundation offices in
Nashville. It takes $1,000 to get his name on the
plaques ($900.00 remaining). We all did this for
Jere Richardson, and I’ve seen his name on the
plaques. If each of Bix’s friends in both HHS and
the Jubil-Aires makes some sort of contribution, the
amount in his name will soon reach or exceed
$1,000. What better way to remember Bix than to
send funds that will be used to:

Subject: Remembrance of Bix !!
My remembrance of Francis" Bix " Doughty
My best thoughts of Bix is How much he would be willing
to help anyone who wanted to sing better he would be
more than willing to help. Also how at his age he was
never afraid to learn more of the art of singing better.
Also how he could sing any one of the four parts. And the
most important thing is How much of a Gentile Man He
is and was. I admire how much spirit he had.
I just wish that I could have even 1/4th of his
determination to be in a Quartet.
