i've been listening to barbershop since i was a baby.. my dad has always been in quartets in the seneca land district in pa/ny.. i've followed the gas house gang religiously in my 19 years of life.. and it was very heart breaking to my family when rob passed.. just a few weekends ago my family got to see kip but i couldn't go because i'm at college right now.. i could sit and listen to barbershop forever. love it <3
"Won't you hear my plea good lord above, can't you know I'm pining". I doubt they took off for "heaven", but I could be wrong. It's a shame they were penalized, but they still kicked ass.
Mr. (Mike) Slamka. I have watched you and your family for years from the Pioneer District Huron Valley Harmonizers. I must say, it is a privalage and honor to hear you perform live. Watching Powerplay win was unbelievable and I have to say watching you win, again, you (I believe) are the next Joe Connely. I respect only 2 other people as much as I respect you, Joe Connely is one, and the late and very tallented Kelly Brummet is the other. Keep it up, Sir.
shawn you are the man for putting this up. all of us at our webcast party we're silent throughout the whole song. We were absolutely floored by this song.

@hognabbt illegal chords on jims final decline to the last chord.

@ChrisisBass13, That might also be true, but I'm quite sure the correct answer was that there is religious content in the song.
