      Hi, I would like to know how I can get the "rehearsal kit", or
      "voice kit" of this song for me to sing with my quartet. Is there any way you can make this "voice rehearsal kit" available to me? Thank you in advance and I'll be waiting for your return.

    My son's barbershop quarter chose this song to perform. That was enough to make my heart sing. Their choral director died unacceptably. They sang to him at his bedside before he died. I hope that they sounded so amazing. Their choral director was pretty damned awesome. He deserved a perfect performance.

    Hi Julian, My name Is Jay. I'm 81yrs young, & have loved Barbershop all my life. By the way, you are amazing boy! In 1947 my Dad formed the first chapter of S.P.E.S Q .S.A. In San Jose Calif. He was lead singer In quartet called, " The What cha Ma Callits." They sang at many concerts & around The Bay area. They once sang at Bellarmine Catholic High. Bing Crosby's boys were going to school there, when Dad's quartet came on stage he came out & joined them! We have one pic. It was 1948.. I think they sang , Coney Island Baby...

    This one's special! I loved Billy Joel's recording on the radio, and that's extra special -- I also grew up on Long Island, just miles from Billy, and we're fairly close in age, so it's like hearing an old friend again! Well, sort of... I've never had the pleasure of meeting him, or you, but not long ago I DID get a note back from you!

    Mr. Neil, many years ago I was a tenor in a barbershop chorus here in Michigan. Also sang in a quartet. Needless to say, I love four part harmony. I just recently discovered some of your videos on youtube. I actually stayed up till midnight listening to them (at 76 I never stay up till midnight) Thank you for creating such a wonderful experience. If you run out of song ideas LOL, I would love you hear your version of Ronnie Milsap's "It was almost like a song". Thanks again, keep up the good work.

      Tennyson Miller Spend time learning what are called Polecats and going to any barbershop shows and chorus events and practices you can. Time well spent and it is fun.

      Tennyson Miller If you are already fairly familiar with Barbershop and are wanting to put together a quartet, participating in a chorus is a great way to meet others with similar interests. Here are some useful websites: www.barbershopconnections.com/index.php, www.quartetmatchup.com/

    Hi there Julien, I just wanted to say that I admire your work SO much and it's made me desperately want to join a barbershop quartet xD. Your singing is so amazing and I only wish I had the same range haha. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I respect you so much for your art! :D.

    Julien, I love your productions they are great. As a lead in the Knights of Harmony Chorus I don't get the chance to practice with in quartet as much as I would like. Is there a way of you editing your pieces so there are one part missing, so anyone could join in as a lead, Barry, Bass or Tenor?
    What would be excellent of course if you could have all four parts with some sort of interactive switch, this would allow one part to be silenced. Needs multitrack audio probably too advanced for mp3 yet.
    Your thoughts .

    Wow! It's hard to believe triplets formed a quartet! What luck they all had good singing voices. Kinda weird that the parents named their kids Tenor and Bass. Barry is OK... although spellet wrong.

    Oh, oh, oh
    For the longest time
    Oh, oh, oh
    For the longest
    If you said goodbye to me tonight
    There would still be music left to write
    What else could I do
    I'm so inspired by you
    That hasn't happened for the longest time
    Once I thought my innocence was gone
    Now I know that happiness goes on
    That's where you found me
    When you put your arms around me
    I haven't been there for the longest time
    Oh, oh, oh
    For the longest time
    Oh, oh, oh
    For the longest
    I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
    And the greatest miracle of all
    Is how I need you
    And how you needed me too
    That hasn't happened for the longest time
    Maybe this won't last very long
    But you feel so right
    And I could be wrong
    Maybe I've been hoping too hard
    But I've gone this far
    And it's more than I hoped for
    Who knows how much further we'll go on
    Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
    I'll take my chances
    I forgot how nice romance is
    I haven't been there for the longest time
    I had second thoughts at the start
    I said to myself
    Hold on to your heart
    Now I know the woman that you are
    You're wonderful so far
    And it's more than I hoped for
    I don't care what consequence it brings
    I have been a fool for lesser things
    I want you so bad
    I think you ought to know that
    I intend to hold you for the longest time

    • @JulienNeel
      @JulienNeel  10 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Hmm good question, I don't even know. I was casted as Harold Hill in a musical, back in college and I loved the barbershop quartet. They were struggling learning their parts on Sincere, so after a while, I ended up memorizing them myself and singing them. Then a few years later, late 2008, I decided to make my first TH-cam video where I'd self harmonize. Things took off from there slowly, one video at a time, and now here I am. ;)
