Speaker 1 (00:07):
Actually it's not too Beth. It's three and a half. Now.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I have taken it upon myself in my later years
here to keep the old jingles alive on this great
radio station that now is one hundred and three years old.
And I love playing those from time to time. And
I know a lot of you listening, you old schoolers,
like to hear them too. But it's one thing to
play an old jingle from the archives. It's another thing
(00:33):
to have a WBT jingle song live on the air,
like we're gonna do right.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Now WBT video. I'd like you let that.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
On a Friday morning, I have cold chills.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
You were listening to the vocal stylings of World Champion
Quartet three and a half.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Men.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Welcome.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
We are so so thrilled to have you here. Now
you're not from the Charlotte area. You flew in yesterday from.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Blew in yesterday from Orlando, Florida.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Okay, from Orlando.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
It actually a beautiful flight.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Oh good, it was great.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
We've been the last several weeks. We've been in Alaska
in Anchorage, and then a couple of weeks ago we
were in New Zealand. So this commute from home was
really wonderful.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Well, yeah, this was what a two hour flight versus
a twenty.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Great.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
We were just starting to get company and there were
on our approach.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
We're like, oh my gosh, this is so beautiful. So
we were happy.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
And you are here for a very special event that
begins today, which I love this. You are inspiring the
young people to really embrace choral music, to embrace the
barbershop quartet, and to embrace what it does to your
mind to your body to sing.
Speaker 6 (01:47):
Absolutely well, we're hoping so anyway, but we're gathering in
huff High School with about one hundred and fifty students
from I believe five different high schools middle schools around
the area, and yeah, we're just going to go there
and throw some harmony their way. I mean, there are
already music school, music school students who are enjoying singing
in choral music. But we're going to throw in this
(02:08):
little different branch of harmony called barbershop through the day
today and also have some time to work with them
as on some of their pieces that they're bringing along,
because we're all professional musicians along the way, and I'd
like to say we're barbershop experts, but not necessarily because
of our championship or singing, just we've been around the
style for so very, very long, so we're thrilled to
(02:29):
be able to be here today and sing some songs
and again hopefully inspire some even further harmony in their lives.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
And there's a big performance tonight after you do the
clinic all day today, those students are going to perform.
I say tonight because I get up at three thirty
in the morning.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
Good.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
The event is at half High School at four. It
begins at four thirty this afternoon or thirty.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
They're going to have a little mini shows what they're
going to have. So the kids that are going to
come in are going to be working on a song
that we've sent them, and we'll see how that goes.
Because we know that we've already heard from the teachers.
They're so involved in so many the thing. So we're
going to go as far as we can with that
material that we're bringing. But we also have some stuff
that'll be a little bit more approachable that we can
throw to them literally in the moment. So no matter what,
the show is going to have some fun four part
(03:10):
harmony barbershop harmony from them. But also, as I mentioned earlier,
they're going to be bringing some material as well that
they have been working on. So either way, the show's
going to end up being lots of vocal harmony and
lots of fun with a bunch of kids who just
love singing, which is a beautiful thing.

no wonder you're the world champs.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, you can do that at this hour of the
I know because I'm not a singer, but I know
singers have to warm up their voices and do all
the calisthenics and to be able to pull that off
that you just did at eight fifty two, that was
mighty impressive.

Well, all right, vocal push ups. Since six am.

Bo was a dancer, I think he's not really a
good singer.

like to get ready for? I mean, a show is
one thing, but just to be ready to do what
you just did, which is show worthy. What did you
have to do this morning?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
It depends on the individual.

Speaker 9 (10:20):
That's what happened.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
That's the base.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
But that's the cool thing about this quartet. We all
respect each other so much that we just kind of
show up ready to go, and then we we sang
a little thing called a pole cat, which is just
a traditional barbershop standard that almost every barber shopper knows
to warm up our voices together, so basically to find
our sound, but our individual voices, like Tony said, are
(10:42):
our individual responsibility.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
So well, you all are so incredibly talented and you
are here in the Charlotte area from Orlando for the
Youth and Harmony event. You're running a clinic today for

in addition to the course, funding and core support through
the generous donations and outreach from the Association of International
Champions and Harmony Foundation International, which are two organizations with
our overall Barbershop Harmony Society that have partnered with chapters
all around our country actually to bring quartets of this
(11:46):
caliber international champion quartets to local communities, get out into
the community and hopefully into high schools, middle schools around
our country to be able to bring barbershop abroad. So
I want to make sure we make a shout out
to them as well as there.

you were listening to the world champion quartet three and
a half men live here in our studio, gentlemen, Holy moly,
no wonder you're the world champs.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, you can do that at this hour of the
I know because I'm not a singer, but I know
singers have to warm up their voices and do all
the calisthenics and to be able to pull that off
that you just did at eight fifty two, that was
mighty impressive.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Well, all right, vocal push ups. Since six am.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
Bo was a dancer, I think he's not really a
good singer.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
But no, no, I'm the DJ because I can't do
any of that stuff.

If you're a dancer.

Get up, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm
not a dancer. So so what do you all do
like to get ready for? I mean, a show is
one thing, but just to be ready to do what
you just did, which is show worthy. What did you
have to do this morning?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
It depends on the individual.
Speaker 6 (09:38):
Actually, I was up at five thirty as the old
man of the crowd.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Lunchtime boy.
Speaker 6 (09:45):

a hot shower, just doing bubbles and the.
Speaker 2 (10:00):

Speaker 9 (10:20):
That's what happened.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
That's the base.
Speaker 9 (10:22):
But that's the cool thing about this quartet. We all
respect each other so much that we just kind of
show up ready to go, and then we we sang
a little thing called a pole cat, which is just
a traditional barbershop standard that almost every barber shopper knows
to warm up our voices together, so basically to find
our sound, but our individual voices, like Tony said, are
(10:42):
our individual responsibility.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
So well, you all are so incredibly talented and you
are here in the Charlotte area from Orlando for the
Youth and Harmony event. You're running a clinic today for
young people from high schools all across the area who

in addition to the course, funding and core support through
the generous donations and outreach from the Association of International
Champions and Harmony Foundation International, which are two organizations with
our overall Barbershop Harmony Society that have partnered with chapters
all around our country actually to bring quartets of this
(11:46):
caliber international champion quartets to local communities, get out into
the community and hopefully into high schools, middle schools around
our country to be able to bring barbershop abroad. So
I want to make sure we make a shout out
to them as well as there.
