barbershop quartet

Paul Wargo
Here's a fine example of my latest musical interest.

and if you enjoyed that; here's a rather long one that that is entertainingly nostalgic.

Paul, I had no idea that you were interested in barbershop quartet.

I've seen bits of BQ on TV over the years but never really paid a whole lot of attention to vocal groups in general until I saw the competition show that featured vocal groups last year (I forget the name).

Both vid's were impressive. Seems like it would take lots of confidence to perform live with no instrument to hide behind, especially a long bit like medley the guys did on the second vid. Man, how do you commit all that to memory?

I REALLY enjoyed those videos, Paul. Thanks!

The embedded video below is probably the first time I ever saw a barbershop quartet. Amazing how quickly these guys pick it up!
