Barbershop?

"that ain't been popular since ought-6...dag nabbit!!"
- Bart Simpson

so, anybody who's interested in the story of our Wedding Reception song performed by myself, my wife, Bob and Seth, should just go to Bob's website. the link is on the right. there's nothing substantial i could add to his recounting.

i will say that Andrea and i had so much fun hanging out with Bob and Seth practicing over the months. as time became short, we were making them come over 2 or 3 times a week...on top of all the work they poured into doing all the other reception music, which kicked ass. those two guys, plus the other 2 Witchger men (Kevin and Bob, Sr.) are the real heroes of our wedding day.

so yes, everything Bob says in his blog is true (except the part
about him not being a "...rare, undeniable, dyed-in-the-wool musician." oh, he is. you better believe it). it was pretty rough during the Feasibility Testing phase of the project. i'd say if we hadn't locked in on a few of those "Keep The Whole World Singing" chords, we may not have pursued it. but as they say, that's what keeps people coming back to Barbershop! that feeling you get when you really ring one out!

i can't say it enough times publicly how indebted we are to Bob and Seth. we are very indebted to them. they would say, "no, it was fun!" or some other deflecting comment. but i don't even know how much work they put into our wedding. only they know. hours and hours and hours...more time than i've put into anything recently.

thank you guys!!
