Ever
since I heard my first harmony on a little crystal radio set, I was intrigued by that "other voice" singing somehow magically in
tune with the melody. When I first started playing and singing in folk
and rock and roll groups, its was a great thrill to try and sing

Mary. My grandfather gave me a Top Ten 1966 Barbershop Quartet album
and I was amazed at the thick tight sounds that human beings could
produce. It's still a great joy today to teach and share a little of
that sound with other willing singers, and now I'm taking that harmonic
knowledge and vocal technique to help other singer songwriters learn
about making better harmony. Here's a tidbit of information from a
harmony workshop for songwriters that I'll be giving in 2008:
