Bring Back Those Good Old Days |
|
|
Formed, quite literally by chance, at a mutual friend's home in 1971, Boston Common remained active through the mid 1990s, performing in 46 states and five foreign countries. In 1980, at the Barbershop Harmony Society's international convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, they became international champions and became one of our most popular quartets. Boston Common recorded Bring Back Those Good Old Days on their album, "Smilin' Through." They attributed the arrangement to The Four Rascals, a great quartet from the 1960s.
The Society has just published the complete arrangement and it is in the Music Premiere 2010-B package, now available, along with Tom Gentry's arrangement of Among My Souvenirs, Gary Parker's Have a Little Talk With Myself, Mel Knight's I Don't Know Why, Aaron Dale's Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp Ba Bomp Ba Bomp) and Jim Kahlke's I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter. This later arrangement is a first of it's kind, in that within this one publication there is a show version and a contest version. Learning tracks (CDs) are made by the remarkable Tim Waurick and are available from the Society. Both versions of I'm Gonna Sit Right Down . . . are on a single CD.
Music Premiere is a six-song package of the latest publications along with a demo of each of the arrangements. Check the Society website for a complete list going back to 1996. There are songs for every musical appetite. |

This is a classic tag written by the fabulous baritone of the Confederates, Bill "Buz" Busby. "Buz" was a gifted woodshedder and arranger and directed the Memphis Cotton Boll Chorus. The Society publishes his famous Creole Cutie, written as a warm-up song for his quartet (stock No. 8402). It became very popular back in the 60s and 70s and was sung on shows and afterglows. Groups still sing his great arrangement, or a variation thereof, of South Rampart Street Parade.
The Confederates won the gold in 1956 at the international contest in Minneapolis. They were a Society favorite and entertained audiences throughout the country until 1969. All of them were members of the Memphis, Tennessee Chapter, so when the Memphis chorus won the international chorus championship in 1958, the Confederates were the first international quartet champion to win a chorus gold medal. |

Those Good Old Songs |

The author of this tag, Paul Olguin, is a songwriter, arranger and quartet singer, and has taught the songwriting course at Harmony University for the last several years.
According to Paul, this tag was written as the final moment to the "Tuesday Night Experience" show package performed by the Bridge Town Sound Chorus of the Portland Metro Chapter. The first medley in the package took the audience through an entire chapter meeting (beginning with "The Old Songs") in just over nine minutes! The second medley, much shorter at only five and a half minutes, transported the audience to the afterglow. The chords in the first two measures of this tag are meant to be savored. The rest of the tag should be sung like a fanfare, slowing down in grand fashion toward the end.
Olguin cleverly worked the strains of "The Old Songs" into the bass part, with lots of ringable chords throughout. The biggest challenge is starting on a D7th chord in the key of F. It's suggested that the singers tune up with the bass on F, bari on A, lead on C and tenor on F (octave above the bass). Then, as the lead and bari stay put, the tenor moves up a half step to F# simultaneously with the bass moving down a minor 3rd to D, creating the starting chord. Thanks for the tag, Paul. |
