Lake Lure NC - Flowering Bidge

When the old highway bridge was replaced, it became a nature area for the volunteers who planted lots of flowers, plants in crafty scenes. It's worth while to visit this wonderful bridge-garden where so much love was put into the 0.1 mile stretch overlooking a beautiful pristine river. Free.
Finale - Balancing Parts with Velocity
Переглядів 5709 років тому
Balancing parts in Finale is very useful especially when playing a cappella arrangements. Without proper balancing, it can be annoying to hear those unabashed harmony parts hogging the landscape. (The leads hate it when it's not their show and most of them continue with this attitude if forced to sing harmony.) This tutorial helps the Finale user to balance playback volumes on specific parts in...

I had the great pleasure to woodshed with them after they performed at our chorus function in Elyria, Ohio. I was 15 singing full voice tenor.
I am sitting with Greg Backwell and we are reading the comments together and he is quite fond of the memories, thank you everyone!
I knew them all back in 1974.
Still my favorite quartet!!!!
As a little kid, I saw Gentlemen's Agreement many times in Traverse City, Mi. They played their retirement show at Interlochen Arts Academy. I was there for that too. My dad had me be an usher. What an honor! I have a cassette tape of the show! The Renegades we're there too. By then, they had gone through 5 Baritones during their career. They called themselves Pieces of Eight. They introduced each member on the stage during a song where each one came on the stage singing their part. They sang an 8 part harmony that was humorous, but marvelously done! My dad was a Barbershopper for 30 years. So I was brought up with watching many great International Champions over the years. The G. A. had done their first show in TC, so it made sense to come back for the last. Interlochen had built a beautiful open air concert hall by that time.
Song list with timestamps: 0:09 - How's Ev'ry Little Thing In Dixie 2:19 - Ma She's Making Eyes At Me! 6:40 - Great Gettin' Up Mornin' 10:13 - My Way 15:51 - Kansas City Star 18:43 - Dames
What a phenomenal quartet! I love these guys so much. Easily my favorite quartet. The bass Bob Whitledge is incredible!
Thank you for posting this video! I love it! I met Drayton Justus back in 2004 at The Men's International in Louisville, KY. I really like this quartet
Where are the comments from the michigan chapters? The bay city mich. Chapter was heavily influenced by the gentlemens agreement.
All 4 were spot on. What a tenor. What a baritone. This was a quartet with 4 dominating voices. And they did not need to ham it up with choreography. They concentrated on the chords. A blind man was the main audience.
Best lead ever. Not many leads are accused of going sharp. All 4 parts spot on.
LOVE it!
I had never seen the Cincinnati Kids before. I love their show set!
I have recently received an E-Mail from Drayton Justice. I hope to see him at one of my Chorus' Zoom meetings.
I heard he passed away in early 2021?
Get well soon, Drayton.
Must have been about the year I joined the chous.. Stricker here!! I dont see me on the risers but know the music. I think I joined just after Randy left the chorus. He was a great director!!
Not bad lead there David... Stricker here
I seem to remember a quartet named new attitude that did those songs
@@davidlorenz2681 I had forgotten you sang lead at that time. Yea Attitude did borrow a few tunes. We had a good time. Oh those trips to the Greenbriar....nice Has Larry retired from his last Qtet. ? How did they do?
Larry Lane (Lead in New Attitude and tenor in Midnight Express) had twice earlier directed the Charlotte chorus at Internationals. After New Attitude, he eventually won the district as lead with Zero Hour. Later, (as bass?) he also won the district with Oneders.
@@davidlorenz2681 So he did win District with zero Hour really? And then Sang Bass with another quartet. That must have been fairly recently. And he one district with that quartet. Is he still singing? How did both quartets do at International. David we should talk sometime and not just at CPCC theater
@@davidlorenz2681 I was at both internationals... New England Area and ??
@@davidlorenz2681 could not find any videos of oneders qtet?
In 71' I was a young teen, playing guitar, owned albums of Beatles, CCR, Johnny Cash, etc.....BUT I also sang lead in the Jr. High Quartet, and owned the 33.3 LP of the finalists in the 71' championship. I still have the album, but no record player:-( I wish someone would post that album.
Stricker is Bob Schmengle.. My witness protection program...
So nice to meet you! WEdunit Band is now a fan
My Dad, Johnny Wearing, made me sit and listen to this quartet many years ago.Being a touring rock and roll musician and singer I normally blew him off and acted like I knew something. Well,Now I am still blown away by these guys and am so grateful for dad's influence.He would have me listen to the Tenor from the Suntones and my God what a sweet voice.And naturally I always loved the Slamkas.Dad actually won the District Championship with Jack in 1981.
Four of my all-time Barbershop heroes!
This is such a great thing.... Steve one of the greatest leads EVER!! Grew up to this quartet!! TY all for such great memories!!
I always loved this quartet. What a lead! George Gipp! POW! But, who thinks the Asian reference in the first song would fly today? That aside....these guys were so damn entertaining.
George Gibb (the baritone) went on to sing in other big quartets as well as become a popular coach. Scott Brannon was the lead of CK you mentioned. Your comment prompted me to make some corrections to the Barbershop Wiki Project that had Steve Thacker's (bass) name as "Scott". Steve later sang bass with my quartet "Midnight Express".
I joined SPEBSQSA in February 1981. My very first barbershop show was in April that year and Bluegrass Student Union was a guest quartet. I was astonished! About a year later I was in a quartet which was invited to sing at a Detroit area barbershop show, and guess who was the other guest quartet. Yep. Bluegrass Student Union. I tried to play it cool like I belonged there, and they treated us as equals. When I changed parts from tenor to lead, Ken was my role model. He still is in some ways.
71st like, for 1971 when I first saw them
We did well and i was proud to be a part.
Oh Stricker here. Bob is my alias..
From Mark Connell.............Hey, I remember those guys. Great job.
I sang with the Davenport, Iowa Chordbusters and The Gentlemen's Agreement was on our Holiday In Harmony show in either 1971 or 72. We were the Central States District Chorus Champions when they won their Quartet Championship ( I think it was in New Orleans). We finished 6th in the Chorus competition. I have one of their albums. I wonder if I can get them on CD?
Here's one place to purchase: shop.barbershop.org/audio-recordings/aic-masterworks-series/gentlemens-agreement-cd-masterworks/
Thanks David!! I appreciate your help!!
Great Classic
This lead kind of sounds like Bill Thornton... nice sound.
Thanks for the compliment for I never have heard that comparison. When I think about, I believe you are right. The only comparison I had heard before was from coach Don Clause who said the Midnight Express quartet reminded him of the old Fordamatics (sp? Please help me Lee Plaskoff or anyone) quartet. I assume I sounded like that lead to Don. Nowdays, can you believe I am a deep second bass?
David Lorenz Do you mean the Four-Do-Matics from the 60s? Cool!
Yes! Thanks, I can never remember the name! Now, with your aid, I am able to finally listen to this mid 60's quartet on UA-cam. Thanks again! It was before my time (joined in 1970) so I didn't know much about them. Maybe Lee had mentioned that the members had all worked for Ford or something like that. Can anyone help here with their history?
Mark Hamill did barbershop eh
I see where the 139th street quartet got their inspiration.
SORRY SO WRONG 139th Street Quartet was around long before and after
Thanks David.Might I add,,,, one of the Finest Leads this Society has produced.......
David, I have been searching for months to find a video of these guys. The best! Thanks for the post. Any More?
Had the honor singing with them in Long Beach Ca, when I was a senior in high school 1972. Sang Back in the Old Routine. I will NEVER forget that experience. They were my first Quartet to shape my desire to sing Barbershop. What a great group of men. I went on to win a Gold Medal with the Masters Of Harmony in San Francisco 1990 knowing The Gentleman's Agreement used their kindness and generosity to help and encourage a young man to follow this terrific hobby. Thank You Gentleman's Agreement.
It was before my time, but somehow I miss that kind of sound.
We had such a great time in this quartet and it showed!
I saw the GA many times and they were terrific!
OMG. I used to listen to these guys EVERY night when I went to bed. Put the "album" on and let it play over and over and over again!!!!
Are you talking about the 1971 SPEBSQSA championship album? I was 13 when I purchased it, and still love it to this day.
The year: 1979. The place: Minneapolis Convention Center. The event: the SPEBSQSA annual competition. As a high school junior who was new to singing in and experiencing barbershop music, I was invited by my friend (who introduced me to the SPEBSQSA world) to be a "runner" during the event, meaning that he and I would bring the quartets from their dressing room to the "ready" spot in the wings. This gave us plenty of opportunity to chat with the various quartets, and two of them who made a major impact on me with their genuine friendliness were The 139th Street Quartet, and The Bluegrass Student Union. To the BSU guys, if any of you read this: that brief interaction meant more to me than you could know. To hear you share your immense talent and charisma on stage, and then treat a little high school punk with the respect and friendliness that you did, made that entire experience extremely special to me. Gentlemen....THANK YOU!!
I was 9 in 1971 when they won. Barbershopping ever since I saw them in Appleton, Wisconsin that year. Even have an autographed copy of GENTLEMEN PREFER BARBERSHOP signed by all four.
I was 9 and grew up in Woodbine, Ill about 193 South. Our family missed your concert but went to Chicago to hear the 4 Renegades and the Sundowners for an evening barbershop show. I played the groves off that Renegade record.
Thanks for posting David!
+Steve Thacker The "thanks" go to you for supplying these recordings many years ago. Since the quality of the videos could be improved, I will be glad to repost if you can get some "closer to original" copies to me. Cincinnati Kids was a pioneer for interactive stage presence. I know my quartets used CK's performances as blue prints for visual performances, flow of show and performing naturally while hiding technique. I also appreciate that your being bass had a strong influenced in the Kids. Google "Midnight Express" to see what we stole from CK. You'll probably see a lot of the Kids there too.
The Bluegrass Student Union has been my favorite barbershop quartet since I first heard them. Richard Staab is the best bass I have ever heard.
18:06 FTW.
One of the best ever ... Oh, and from the cardinal district ... Like other greats ... Second Edition, Michigan Jake and the incomparable Instant Classic!
The quartet that got me fired up about bbs! Still my all-time favorite to this day!!
I've always been amazed at the breath control of BSU. They could sing forever on one breath and manage to breath all together even in the quickest of beats...and go on forever again. "I Told Them All About You Dear" is a good example of this. Such amazing control. I have the most fun singing tenor along with their recordings. Fun songs and great arrangements!
They stayed at my house and.had.ziti and Meetballs
Hey Gerry, give me a call!
