Thread Name: What's so wrong about Barbershop?
Subject: RE: What's so wrong about Barbershop?
For me, I enjoy a whole variety of music. Opera (sorry, Uncle Boko, but "out of tune?" Gotta be something wrong with your ear. But chaque un à son gout), Broadway show tunes, a lot of pop songs from yesteryear, country, blues, and yes, some barbershop, too. Too great a variety to list. I must admit that I don't enjoy much in the way of rock (but some!), and rap sort of sets my teeth on edge. There's darned little classical music that I don't like.

But as for what I perform myself, I stick pretty close to traditional songs and ballads, and a few other selected songs. I also play (play at) classical guitar, with an occasional whack at flamenco.

Why not barbershop? Well, doing the sort of stuff I like to do, I don't have to look up three other guys to do it.
