Review: I enjoyed the book and plan on sharing it with a friend of mine in MI. I also plan on giving it to my daughter when my friend is finished with it because barbershop singing is a hobby that my Dad, Mom and daughter have shared together for many years. I have also purchased Gabe's book and sing with the Rich-Tone Chorus featured on his included CD recording with his book. I am thrilled that we are able to read more about what we do from a "study" point of view. However, I don't really think an outsider doing a study ever really knows or feels what it is like to truly "know" the world of barbershop harmony. It is to be loved, experienced, enjoyed and performed in order to really "know" it from all angles.
