Tape recorders are a help indeed, Terry. And when you sing harmony, people can get very possesive of "their" note. I did a gospel album many years ago and used The Beans (Jim Bean is a sometimes visitor in here.) When I'd hear them working out harmonies, I thought that it was very humorous. Talk about pride of possession.

You're right too, Terry about instruments carrying harmony too, as other "voices." I use my guitar to fill in "holes" or strengthen the lead. And when we have it right, I love to stop playing guitar and just listen to the voices. Nothing tops four (or three) voices in strong harmony when you hit that perfect blend and it becomes one sound. At least, not for me.
