Barbershop Music: Does It Strike A Chord?

*DISCLAIMER* YES I messed up and for whatever reason put the wrong picture for the Sweet Adelines. MY BAD

This is simply an informational video I had to make for school this past year on barbershop music. The quartet is me on all four parts, it's a piece I wrote called "Croonings of Old". Before I get completely narked on the tenor parts, please understand I am in no means a tenor. I'm about as low as they come singing wise. Thanks to Garage Band for the recording stuff.
ENJOY!!!

Haha! What's the name of the tune at the beginning of the song that is played by that piano.

Lol, I honestly don't know. If you look up any of the Family guy clips with the two Vaudville non-sequitor people, you'll hear it.

Thanks for telling us "all there is to know" about barbershop. I do have a question though....where did you get the chords for your little song at the end? Most of it were actually not good chords at all but a lot of doubles and the bass and lead singing the same parts.

[jazzman2021]

What can I say? I'm a fan of octaves, always have been always will be ;)

And as for the song being rather basic, there's no way this 17 year old high schooler could ever begin to write a song of the same magnitude as "Coney Island Baby" or "When There's Love at Home" in a week.

But thanks for watching

They're instruments that they shake and the pipes bang together. Do a search for the dapperdans here on youtube and you'll see them singing Mr. Sandman while using the strange instruments. =)

Sorry I can't stay and play with you in the fields. When you achieve an education higher than that of a fourth grader, then we'll talk. Untill then, I have a report due in 2 hours. ( AC feels great when its 80 degrees out )
