The African-American Origins of Barbershop Music, and Why It Matters, by Dr. David Wright

[@gailkrause6776]

Great presentation David. Also, the editing and posting was done well by whoever is responsible. I was proud to be there, involved a bit, and to have met Mr. Lynn Abbott. Our barbershop community should be proud he's now an honorary member.

Thank-you Dr. Wright for your very informative talk and history of the origins of barbershop singing of which we so enjoy singing!

So glad that this presentation is available by the Barbershop Harmony Society. I am persuaded that for some weird reason very few people are aware of the African-American roots of this excellent art form. Barriers by reason of 'race' are constructs that are not only artificial but a great detriment to humanity's further advancement..

An interesting presentation by mathematician, music arranger and historian David Wright!

YES. I'm giving a presentation on History of Boy Bands this Wednesday, and I am so happy to be able to supplement my intro featuring barbershop with this presentation.

Wow, the kind of random video we bump into youtube. I didn't even know quartets were called "barbershop music". Great lecture. Thank you!
