SPIN article on barbershop quartets now online!
I blogged about my SPIN article on barbershop quartets last week, and have since gotten a bunch of e-mails from barbershoppers asking where they could read the article for free. (Barbershoppers are generally a thrify bunch — at the Nashville convention last summer, I remember seeing an hour-long line for the complimentary shuttle bus while a row of empty taxis idled nearby.)
Well, their prayers have been answered — the article is now live at SPIN.com. Use the widget below to get there, or just click here.
(Side note: I love the extras SPIN puts in its digital version, like links to the iTunes songs and MySpace profiles of the bands — quartets, in this case — mentioned in its articles. Web-only magazine content can be gimmicky, but in the case of a music magazine, being a click away from the song you’re reading about is actually pretty useful.)

I’m embarrassed to admit that I looked them up on YouTube.
God bless you for spending that much time with them, and probably having to listen to them perform several times.
