Barbershop Society takes Seventh Avenue in song
The Barbershop Harmony Society (note the Wikipedia entry), which is headquartered in Nashville and is hosting its annual meeting at the convention center this week, is performing on Seventh Avenue this morning. Hundreds of society members (above) are singing in the middle of the street. It’s surprisingly quite relaxing, especially from my vantage point a couple hundred feet overhead.

Thanks, Charlene. I work in the building where the meeting is being held. I’ve been hearing bits and pieces all week, and it sounds really neat. It was wild hearing voices carry from street level this morning. The harmony was amazing.
