I just ran across this and it brings back so many memories. I sang in a women’s barbershop quartet when I was 21 & I’m 67 now. Those were the good old days. Now I sit in my apartment, not going out, due to the Covid. I have health issues, so being safe. I just subscribed to the channel, so I’ll have something GOOD and ENTERTAINING to listen to. Does anyone know if this quartet is still singing? Loved them and THANK YOU!!!!!

[@mephostopheles3752]

Right? As much as I love Main Street, I’ve heard them sing Britney and N’SYNC more than enough times. The concept would still be great if they did a few new songs in that arrangement. The Newfangled Four always manage to add something new, and that’s IF they bring back an old song.

[@hominid3528]

@@mephostopheles3752 I think part of what makes them unique in a way is that if they do the same song they in some way call back to a different song (banana phone) or how Jackson had been working on his high notes all year. Also it's a bit insane to me that they can be as animated with the physical jokes while singing and stay in rhythm and volume.

[@DawnDavidson]

@@hominid3528what blows me away is how they can do all that choreo and side conversation and be not singing for, like, 30-60 seconds, and then just come back in perfectly in tune and in sync. These guys are AMAZING.

[@alistairwall5470]

It's essentially a shorthand way of saying "Am I standing with a correct posture?" There's been a huge focus in barbershop over the last five years on something we call "alignment" which is just a fancy way of describing what our posture should be. This specific gesture is to meant to check that your earholes are over the peaks of your shoulders, which is the crucial part.
