So what song makes you get up and move? It can either be an all time favorite or something new...
What makes you get out of your seat and play the air guitar, or attempt to break dance or look like you are having a fit?
Post a song name or a YouTube clip
Mine would be: "Low" by Flo Rida... :)
YouTube - Flo Rida - Low [OFFICIAL VIDEO]
Here are a few I had to ban myself from while driving.
They don't seem to appreciate if your driving 135 miles mph on the highways. (218 kph) for those outside the U.S.
YouTube - Lynyrd Skynyrd-Free bird
YouTube - Heart - Barracuda (HQ)
YouTube - Pat Benatar-Heartbreaker
There's a lot more too. Lol
Cool... back before I got married and had my cool car, I used to listen to most R&B songs with bass... had a huge sub, so that was great, but now I have a tiny car, so not much cool song can be played in there...
Still..

Your married not dead!! Get some speakers. Its amazing what they have out there now. Enjoy the ride.
Haha... very true... but recently married means not really enough money to get good speakers... not yet anyway... so will wait... will get myself a car next year for my birthday... :)Quote:

Thanks!

Do you like medieval, Renaissance or barbershop chorus music? That's just to name a few of the types of music that I'm into. Some of the pieces would definitely inspire a person to move in certain ways, if that person knows how to enjoy the music.Quote:

I might see if I can find some of those types of music tonight and see if they can make me move... Barbershop does tend to make my foot tap though...
I'm just curious as to what you think barbershop styled music is, before you go searching for it, if you wouldn't mind sharing about that?
I know that I had a preconception as to what it was about, before I was invited to attend a rehearsal. My preconception turned out to be a misconception!
Thanks!
Isn't it a group of 4 people with different tone voices, who sing in harmony?
Just a guess
A quartet would be a group of four people. That is the main tradition of barbershop singing. However, there are also choruses. Within those choruses, there might be a few or many quartets.
As far as tone, I think what you mean is voice quality or timbre. In barbershop quartet or chorus singing, that would be tenor, lead, baritone and bass.
So, do you know any more about barbershop quartet or chorus singing, please?
Nope... that's about all I know...
Have you seen the sitcom "Scrubs"? There are 4 guys on there who sing a lot, and I think they do barbershop, but I'm not really sure... All I know is they sing acapella and it sounds good... Lol!
Okay. So, does mean that you liked what you heard?
No, I haven't seen the sitcom "Scrubs". I'm not much of a T.V. watcher.
It's interesting, that the last time that I checked, this thread has already had 60 views, and you just started it this evening! That's a pretty fast growth in views in a short amount of time for a thread!
YouTube - The Blanks - Superman
This is one of the things they do in the show, but they have instruments in others... they are pretty good and yeah, I do quite like what they do...
I guess it is pretty good that people are checking out this thread, but not too many posts, other than you, me and Cali... but all good... the night is still young out there... but my day at work is coming to an end in about 2 hours, so that's cool... :)
I can't really listen to YouTube videos right now because I'm on a dial-up connection. When I'm on a high-speed connection, I'll be able to listen to what can be found by clicking on the link that you posted.
Would you like to hear one of the best barbershop choruses in the world?
That's fine... no worries...
Sure... I'd love to listen to it. Please post the link to it. Thanks
Here's the link.
YouTube - Westminster Chorus 2007 Strike Up The Band
They all are about your age. All of them are amateurs and not paid. Well, maybe the director is paid, but I don't really know... It's also not a college or university group, but one that draws men from a number of miles around the vicinity.
Please be sure to turn up your sound!
Wow!
They are pretty groovy... the harmony is amazing... and how long they can hold a note for... awesome... now I know why they are the best... I also listened to their "The way you look tonight"... nice... :)
I like quite the plethora of music actually. From
YouTube - December, 1963 (Oh What A Night) - Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons
To
YouTube - Santana - Smooth (feat. Rob Thomas)
And another genre
YouTube - Ted Nugent - Stranglehold
Still more...
YouTube - Lady Antebellum - Need You Now
It all depends on my mood at the time.
Nice one... I'd heard of them all... except for the last one...
Santana is an insane guitarist... he is the 1 who got me into playing the guitar, but I'm nowhere as good... Lol!
And, that was barbershop music! I'm glad that you liked it! :)Quote:

In barbershop music, when a note is held for a really long time, that's called a "post". If a note is to be held for a really long time where people would normally need to take a breath, what we do is to "stagger" the note between singers so that it appears that the note is being held for as long as it is.
That particular group does the staggering of breathing so that it appears to be seamless!
I direct the men's barbershop chorus that's on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River in the Iowa - Illinois Quad Cities Area.
That's awesome Clough... thanks for all that info... I will go home and research some other barbershop choirs too... they sound cool... and yes, that group do the staggering so well... they also were very coordinated with their steps... Lol!
You should record some of your performances and post them up on YouTube so we can hear your chorus... :)
Well, if we get really good recording equipment, we just might do that! We do have video recordings, but I don't think that we have one that would be just right for a YouTube one just yet... Some of the video recordings are pretty good! But, in the videos are images of other people who we would need to get permission from for them to be in the video if it were to be broadcast anywhere. That would be a near impossible task to get all of the permissions.
If I can, I'll be posting some of our songs, in audio, on our chorus website.
Do you play an instrument or sing?
Sounds good Clough...
Yes, I do play the guitar and I sang a Rascal Flatts song at my wedding, to my wife, but nothing great... ;)
Do you read music that's on a staff to play the guitar?
Nope... I usually get a print out of the chords and if I'm not used to the song, I'll use a music stand, but if I know the song, I'll memorize it and just play it by myself, with looking at chords or anything.
Would you like to learn how to read music on a staff? If you learn how to do that, you'll be able to play a lot more songs as well as pieces.
That would be good... sounds interesting... how do I learn that?
I could teach you on a separate thread on this site! If you find the threads about writing a song, you'll see how that can be done!
Are you still around on this thread, BlackVY?
Have you disappeared, BlackVY?
Hi Clough... sorry, its been a while since I got to log into AMHD...
How are you?
I'm reviving this thread, because I never saw it earlier.
