10 ай бұрынPop Songs Medley (2015) performed by Main Street arranged by Clay Hine: • Main Street - Pop Song...
Note about the key: The drift upward in pitch but I wrote it in what I'm pretty sure is the original key it's supposed to be in. Hope that clears up any confusion!
Edit: 2nd measure should be a G# in the lead.

I've sung everything from hymns and classical to madrigal and modern music, and I can tell you categorically that this style is immensely technically difficult. It requires very strong vocal physiology, prefect pitch, a precise "ear" able to overcome acoustically variant venues... That these guys are able to make it look easy is testament to an extremely highly honed of skill and talent. SERIOUS PROPS.

His barber was actually in the chorus, and he went to him up until the barber couldn’t cut hair anymore. I even had the barber’s quartet sing at my wedding. My dad passed away 3.5 years ago, and barbershop will always have a special place in my heart.
