Let's not forget the absolute awesomeness that is Kipp Buckner on any song, tag, post, barbershop and much more! GHG is one of my favorite quartets! Thanks for the post!
I had the pleasure of seeing The Gas House Gang back around 1993 or 1994 a the Master's of Harmony Show. After the show Barbershoppers always have what's called an "Afterglow", a reception usually in a hall or hotel meeting room and local quarters sing and usually the guest quartet does a "Second" more intimate performance. The Afterglow when really long and it wasn't until after 2am that Gas House(after patiently listening to several local quartets) stood up and launched into "Strike Up the Band" which they had not released yet. They are four of the nicest, classiest people withing the Barbershop society. RIP Rob Henry.
The last chord of Alexander’s Ragtime Band (2:35) is so locked in it hurts... overtones EVERYWHERE. GHG is one of the all-time best quartets, if not THE best.
That first phrase of the tag of Old St. Louie (12:59) is one of the most beautiful (and difficult) in all of barbershop, and GHG effortlessly glide through it, nailing that bII7 and rootless V9 at the end with utter perfection.
i remember the Gas House gang singing on our show. I was Singing with the Kitsap Chordsmen at the time and this was right around the time rob was diagnosed the director and a few others knew but the chorus at large didn't. I sure wish we had. I miss rob.
Thing I love about barbershop is you don’t have to have the greatest voice It’s not about a great voice but the ability to sing in pitch blend Just think if it wasn’t for barbershop how many would have had a career singing I think ghg has a soft spot for me beacause our quartet came fifth this year in the Australian quartet competition and won the encouragement trophy Which wasn’t bad seeing I only joined the quartet six mths before competition Mary Lou was one of our numbers I loved that song because I got the opportunity to hit that last note Yes I was a tenor
@@suecaron9263 Hello!!! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!....Stay safe!!
It would be great if Peter Van de Graaf (?) from 89.1 would feature the Gas House Gang's (barbershop) rendition of Motzart's Magic Flute. It's really good.
Well Whaddya know? Look what just showed up in my iTunes list! Right up above 'Siddown yer rockin' the boat'! Thanks for the pointer, Kipp. I never would have seen it otherwise.
The guy in blue telling his story sounds just like the Smothers Brothers. Excellent. (Is that a compliment? It sounds like a compliment. (In joke for SB fans.))
