We just got back from the MAD district contest, and my Dad shared this post and it touched me so deeply today. The man who posted this is the husband of my first piano teacher (Irene Yeakel), who taught me so much and is responsible for much of my foundational knowledge of music. I owe her SO so much. Two of the other men in this quartet are my Uncles ❤️ I never met my Uncle David (far right). He passed tragically long before I was born, way too young. Being able to hear him sing in this recording brought me to tears. It reminds me of why this love of music runs so deep in me and I am so honored to be here now, able to honor that legacy and my late Uncle’s memory. I am still amazed by how music can reach through time this way. So thank you Barbershop Harmony Society and Sweet Adelines International for allowing me to connect with my past in this special way, and continue singing for those who can’t any longer.

This was one of the most incredible things to watch at Midwinter last night.
My mouth stayed agape watching this from backstage.

Where would we be, where would music be, without the indelible mark that African Americans have made in the world of music. As musicians we are so grateful to these pioneers for giving the world music that inspires, moves, and connects us ❤️Today is the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth, so it's a fitting time for me to help make sure all a cappella folks realize that barbershop quartet singing was originally an African American style and tradition.![]()
Forget the Norman Rockwell paintings, forget what you've seen and heard, barbershop's roots are along the lines of the Fairfield Four and Mills Brothers.![]()

And give proper credit and thanks for yet another (!) indelible musical tradition that was created by African Americans:![]()
(and thanks to the Barbershop Harmony Society, Sweet Adelines International, and Harmony, Incorporated for keeping the style alive and growing today!)

Loving your second CD!! The digital download card was great way to receive the CD. Is there a place I can go to find out who arranged each of the charts? Thanks! Looking forward to cheering you on at SAI International in Vegas.
