Certainly half of Crossroads. This was in early 2005 when Mike had been doing a fair amount of fill-in Baritone with Gas House Gang. Likely, the seed was planted here.
I have never been to a barbershop convention to hear all the groups although I'd love to do so. barbershop is my favorite style of music. I own every cd that the Gas House Gang has put out.
Impromptu quartet singing in the hallways at conventions is the best, and I would have given this five stars just to hear the Gas House Gang do that. But to get to hear them doing the entire Music Man arrangement of Lida Rose/Sweet and Low with a female quartet -- how incredible is that ! What a treasure!!!
crossroad gang?

gotta love their song "We're little but we're loud." Sums up the style they got perfectly.
One of my all time favorite quartets. Could listen to them all day
