Author Visit: P.T. Rivers
Chat with P.T. Rivers about her book, The Schmitt Brothers. Book-signing follows the discussion (Paper Crane has copies available for purchase).
Four brothers from a Two Rivers family of 17 won an international singing competition in 1951, beating out the top 40 quartets in the U.S. and Canada. They didn’t stop singing for 35 years, and became the longest performing quartet to retain its original members. The men were also devoted husbands and fathers, businessmen and civic leaders who never missed an opportunity to promote Two Rivers. They traveled more than two million miles and performed in 3,000 programs, including the Ed Sullivan, Arthur Godfrey and Lawrence Welk shows, and on the top stages in the country. Rivers' book recounts their adventurous lives.
