Read what a few chorus members and others from around the country have to say about being in orgnazations like ours: WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT US … A sampling of highlights from news articles, on-air programming and interviews with some of our more famous “alumni” Notes from the press… The Washington Post Feb. 7, 2007 WARBLERS REVEAL WORDSMITH’S SOFT SIDES John Kelly, columnist Barbershop singing, a quintessentially American form of close harmony, is like aural honey…The sound sets the air vibrating and tickles the ear like a cat tongue licking your cheek. …and from some of our celebrity honorary members and current members Opera star Sherrill Milnes, currently on faculty at Northwestern University “Barbershop is very sharp, clean and exciting. There is a lot of muscle in that kind of harmony.” Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member Jimmy Merchant, currently a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society’s Salisbury, Maryland, chapter “You guys have taken American street corner harmony a step further and it is amazing to me what you can do with your sound.” Legendary singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot “I started writing songs at 18, and the barbershopping (experience) was behind me, but what I learned from it was a very important part of my life during those formative years. It’s the most remarkable sound I think that I’ve ever experienced.” Broadway actor, touring company “Phantom” and barbershop harmony gold medalist Gary Mauer “Hearing barbershop harmony somehow makes me feel whole…Even now, no matter what role I’m playing, I think deep down inside me I’m subconsciously still trying to sing like (quartet gold medalist) Ted Bradshaw.” Grammy-award-winning vocalist Bill Gaither “I have been a fan for years. The Buffalo Bills recording of ‘Lida Rose’ was my first encounter with barbershop back in the mid-1950s, and I said, ‘Hey, there’s something different about this four-part harmony, let me figure this out.’ I don’t think I ever got it figured out, but it’s good!” Award-winning actor and song and dance man Dick Van Dyke “I’m a shower singer, and I drive around listening to my barbershop learning tapes. People see me in the car and look at me like I’m nuts.”
