Doo-wop is among the few American original folk music styles. I'm thrilled to know there are so many people who are enthusiastic about this musical style. Every time I hear doo-wop I picture a Philadelphia alley with four or five guys warming their hands around a flaming 55 gallon trash barrel and raising their voices in improvised song and harmony. I heard a great song just a couple of days ago describing one such bunch. It recounted how at house parties there were times when nobody could get into the bathroom because the group had fallen in love with the echo and were singing their hearts out in there.

I can hardly wait to sing some doo-wop with some of you folks!
