Thread Name: Visualizing Harmony
Subject: RE: Visualizing Harmony
I like singing harmony, and it's easy for me because I've done it all my life. Our Mom had me and my three sisters singing as a quartet, matching outfits and the whole nine yards. If I know the melody to a song, I just know the intervals well enough to place either an alto or a descant. I'm in trouble if someone plays an alternate chord to the way I learned the song, tho'!

I DID spend years and years getting over a performance tic from the experience, however. One sister never did; would run at the mere mention of gathering 'round the piano ... actually, so do I, if I'm in the same room with family.

but I love girl group harmony stuff: Straw into Gold, Lotus (defunct), Pointer Sisters, LaBelle, Roches.
