Bill Gaither’s Gonna be a Barbershopper
I was perusing the program (link to pdf) to this week’s International Barbershop Competition, and what do you know. There on page 54 it says that during the Saturday evening program Bill Gaither will be presented with an honorary society membership. Interesting.
Saturday night is the Quartet contest finals, that’s a must-hear anyway, I’ll keep a watch out for Bill.

It was a wonderful presentation… and Bill was very honored and gracious to have been given this recognition. He fell in love with the 4-part, male, a cappella, close harmony sound and he finished out his speech by saying that if Gabriel doesn’t show up with his trumpet, that a 4-part male, close-harmony quartet would announce the second coming! :)
