Book Description
"'Four Parts, No Waiting' investigates the role that vernacular, barbershop-style close harmony has played in American musical history, in American life, and in the American imagination. Averill traces the popularity of this musical form from the U.S. tours of Austrian Alpine harmony singers, to minstrel shows, black recreational singing, vaudeville, early recordings, and in the barbershop revival of the 1930s." -- Page [4] of cover.
