I think I'm in love with Clay Hine. The man is a legend.

I've been at Barbershop Camp before and I've been coached by both Clay and his wife and it's always a treat to watch this on the giant screen there!

Insane. Love it!

[@abp3509]

AMAZING

[@VideoGameHaven]

The song is pretty good but I'm afraid that my ears will be shocked when the static goes high...

[@Jackman24601]

Clay Hine's facial expressions are brilliant.

Out of all of Fred's songs I think I like their first song in this video "Fit as a Fiddle" if that is what the title is. Seems to me they blended very well and the comedy was just enough, not overboard.

[@bdhsingfish]

yes sir he coached our chorus. UGH!!!

[@edmankin]

is there a better sound than 6:30?... damn!

[@mattdre88]

@Codeman644 I think it went like this:
96: 4th
97: 2nd
98: 4th
99: 1st

[@Jackman24601]

I'm sure he does, but I asked because you mentioned him in a reply to a comment about the baritone...

[@churchmusicdirector]

Best part of the video--5:14.

[@Jackman24601]

Rick LaRosa is the lead, isn't he?

[@coasterformydrink]

@mattdre88 that's correct.

[@xradphotographer]

I thought they placed 2nd in 96

[@KatanaYurr]

Codeman644 nope because they were 4th then 2nd then 4th then first (:

[@bdhsingfish]

Rick LaRosa is hilarious

[@coasterformydrink]

@mattdre88 that's correct.

[@MistaTwigz]

He coached the Virginians too! :)
