Today is Barbershop Quartet Day which honors four guys with great voices. This day celebrates the founding of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America in Tulsa, Oklahoma on April 11, 1938. Barbershop Quartets date back to the early 1900's in America.
Barbershop quartets are a popular musical group. Musical selections are usually happy and light hearted, and allow full utilization of the voice ranges and skills of these great singers. Competitions at local and national levels encourage these groups to flourish.
Listening to a barbershop quartet puts a smile on ones face.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY
All I need is a little harmony...
Even if they're a little old fashioned, it's still amazing to watch and listen to four people in perfect tune singing a song. I’ve heard some in my time and was amazed at the harmony they created.
Harmony is important in our lives as well as in music. The dictionary defines 'harmony' as a consistent, orderly, or pleasing arrangement of parts. Harmony can also mean a working together toward the same goal. And living in harmony with the head and the heart will allow you to thrive.
To live in harmony with one another we need to be able to communicate with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. I think that is what being family is all about. We may have our differences from time to time but when it matters, we show that family matters.
We need to remember that it is not necessary to agree on everything in order to show kindness and kindness is contagious.
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday !

I too enjoy Barbershop Quartet music. Listening to them harmonize is always fun to do. I remember they would have them sometimes performing randomly up in Disneyland, often riding on bikes built for two.
Harmony among each other is a good way to live life too!
betty
enjoy your week
