[@williammagonet2166]

Incredible the control of your voice with the music notes ! It was so beautiful and you deserve 1000 times to be more popular ! Please continue to impress people with your talent ! Thank you so much !

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I'll definitely try :D

[@kathyensink]

Sonny...You are funny and refreshing every time you post. I, for one, don't care which version you post. They are all enjoyable! 😯💜👍

[@sgtsonny]

Haha thanks so much for the kind words. I am constantly wondering how my approach is being perceived. So I'm glad you like it :D.

This was the tag that got me hooked on barbershop! My first night visiting a rehearsal, three veteran barbershoppers took me aside and taught me this tag. That chromaticism at the end--listening to the chords change colors just blew my mind.

[@sgtsonny]

It is a fantastic tag! I LOVE it too :D

[@Jaydabeast5000]

Grade A stuff as usual. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks a lot, Justin!

[@davenuttall88]

This is also one of my favourite tags :) Along with 'Silvery moonlight'. Mmmmm. They get me right in the feels!

[@sgtsonny]

Awesome! I'm glad I picked the right tag then :)

This is a beautiful thing...

[@tdvorak9987]

Hey Sonny! I did a video at Harmony University of me and few guys singing the tag like leaves will fall on my youtube channel! It was such a great week seeing all sorts of different Barbershoppers but the highlight of my week was singing with Oboy Quartet! Love the tags man keep up the great work hope to sing with you soon!

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks so much for the kind words. O!Boy is just great right? Such a fun bunch of guys. I've had them over a couple of times for coaching. Super cool dudes, all of them! Awesome that you got to meet them!

[@tdvorak9987]

For next month a great tag to sing would be fly me to the moon

[@rjsjtrc]

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Great tag Sonny!

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks so much, Micah! If you want to cast a vote for next month's tag. Get to the Facebook page (facebook.com/hollandharmonyeducation ) and click the❤️ emoji right there for a male tag. Every vote counts over there. Maybe next month will be a male tag! Thanks

[@unclesam6]

Hi Sonny, I really like your material. Have you ever listened to Bill Wurtz's La de da de song? I think that could be a really cool tag. Thanks for the up to date content!

[@sgtsonny]

Hahaha I had actually never heard of that guy :). Fun!

[@toptrump1499]

I’m a bass and cannot sing a bottom Db at volume I’m afraid 😟

[@Nordryd]

As a bass 2, I say screw that 8 over the bass clef :P

[@ritapitasunshine]

Nice accent sonny this brightened my day

[@sgtsonny]

Haha thanks, Rita!

[@ritapitasunshine]

Sonny Vande Putte I can just imagine your cat bongo just like “sonny stop you’re being weird again.” Lol happy Halloween

[@keithferguson]

Fabulous.

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks!

[@badynwoodford]

Epic, Sonny!

[@sgtsonny]

Thanks, Badyn!

[@badynwoodford]

You’re welcome, Sonny!

[@MarceloAlmeida1]

Wow!

[@horvathgaborne301]

I see you are preparing for the wild west !! I like " the singing lessons." But I'am looking forward to the next song ! When?

[@sgtsonny]

I post a tag of the month every month. So you should get a brand new one by the end of August! Thanks for stopping by.

[@horvathgaborne301]

Thank you the answer !

[@dorisbrandon5317]

Sonny yall shore kin harmonize right purdy. I always like to hear good sanging. Say howdy to yer feline fer me. Adios ❤

[@sgtsonny]

Hahaha now I could never get the accent down like that :D. The cat's sleeping right now, but I'll tell him you said 'hi' :).

[@BethanyLowe8773]

Thanks! I would love to record some of your tags (as you invite us to), but can you advise us all on what kind of recording setup is good enough for the beginner to use? How do we get started? 💜

[@sgtsonny]

Awesome! I'd love to give you some advice. You can go as cheap or as expensive as you'd like. I'll give you 3 options (free, cheap and best price-quality for beginners) Free: A lot of people use their phone nowadays. There are a lot of apps out there which enable you to record 4-part harmony videos. I've never used them myself, but I've seen a lot of people using Acapella from PicPlayPost online. Cheapest: You can just use your built-in microphone, but that's not a great option. So you could also just buy a cheap microphone for skype sessions in any computer store (or even supermarkets). Just plug it in and download some free software to record your voice. There are some great free DAWs online (Audacity, reaper, ...). Here's a link to the best free DAWs: routenote.com/blog/the-10-best-free-daws-available/ Best price-quality: You can buy some great USB-microphones nowadays (Samson C03U, Rode NT-USB,...). Just plug it in for a more superior sound. You can use this in the free DAW or you can invest in a budget friendly DAW like PreSonus Studio One or Logic Pro X. But I advise to use a free DAW first, since those get already get you a long way for no money. Hope this kinda helps you out! Good luck :)

I'm getting a lot of votes for a male tag on KZbin, which is AWESOME! Because through facebook, I'm getting mostly female votes. Unfortunately, your vote only counts when you like or ❤ the video on the Facebook page (facebook.com/hollandharmonyeducation ). Please cast your vote there as well! I'd LOVE to have next month's tag be a male tag! Thanks for the support!

[@eleventhdr1]

where did you ever find that dan blocker hat!

[@sgtsonny]

At a local Country&Western shop. They didn't have a lot of options, but this one was exactly what I was looking for. I used to play the mando in a bluegrass trio called 'The Carters'. I can't tell you how many props I have laying around from former projects and productions :D

[@JoseAyala-ff9fi]

Come Kitty Kitty 💟

[@sgtsonny]

That evil continuity breaker... :D

[@olohialli9289]

Who else saw the dog walk in through the door, and suddenly disappear. Lol

[@sgtsonny]

Yup, that was my cat 'Bongo', also know as the ruiner of continuity :D

[@river1403]

Your accent was actually not that bad 😂

[@sgtsonny]

Haha either you're too kind or I surprised myself :D

[@Antilles1974]

As someone from Oklahoma/Texas, your southern accent isn't bad at all :)

[@sgtsonny]

Hahaha awesome! I was wondering! :D

[@GeorgeTrudeau]

🙀 Mixed please!

[@sgtsonny]

Awesome! We don't have enough votes for mixed. Get to the Holland harmony Education page (facebook.com/hollandharmonyeducation ) and cast your vote by hitting the 😲emoji! That's how you cast the vote for next month's video. Thanks!

[@GeorgeTrudeau]

Sonny Vande Putte - that explains why I couldn't find the emoji! Thanks for the great tags.

Algorithmus

[@judithhamilton6267]

Ya'll got a natural sign missing......baritone.....ms 5 I think....should be Bb....A natural....Ab....

[@sgtsonny]

You're right! I think Sibelius didn't feel the need to put that natural sign there, because of the A natural in the lead... That's probably why I didn't hear it either. Good spot!

[@kevinjohnson1919]

cat

[@sgtsonny]

Bongo, the ruiner of continuity.
