Although I sing sort of a baritone harmony in folk music ( and it is paradoxical why basses want to sing high parts and tenors want to try the low ones) I do sing the Bassman part in my do-wop group and I gotta tell ya it is a dream gig.! THe bass guy can just sorto f go nuts while everyone else is tied to the structure of the melody line or at least the strict pattern of the inner parts, the bassman is just off on an ego trip! I have an arrangement of the Belmonts that is simply the harmony parts and basslines to about a dozen do-wop songs in a medley! It is really a trip to hear.

Normallly it takes me several days to re-acquire the bass timbre for do-wop after singing all the inner parts to limeliters and kingston trio songs for a couple months.
