| | St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Barbershop Quartets |
| | Most barbershops had a radio, and the term "barbershop singing" is said to have originally referred to the way in which customers would improvise or "woodshed" harmonies to whatever popular song might be playing on the radio as they waited their turns for a haircut or shave. | | | A barbershop quartet is any four-person vocal music group that performs a cappella&; without instrumental accompaniment--the popular American music of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. | | | The barbershop style of singing has its roots in an old American pastime known as "woodshedding," in which one person would lead a group in song by taking up the melody of a popular tune, and the rest of the group would then improvise harmonies to that melody. |

| | Barbershop Quartets on Early 78s |
| | Quartet singing was incredibly popular in the acoustic era, but no quartets of the acoustic era were known as barbershop quartets. | | | The song does not actually refer to barbershop quartets but "barbershop" is used as a musical term (it is a type of harmony). | | | William Tracey is given credit on sheet music for lyrics, but Ballard Macdonald successfully argued in court that he was the song's originator, which resulted in the song's publisher paying Macdonald $37,500, forcing the publisher into bankruptcy. |

| | What is known as barbershop singing, according to the society, actually has its roots in African-American music as early as the 1870s, when black quartets such as The American Four and The Hamtown Students helped to establish the improvisational nature of four-part harmony. | | | I'm at the home of barbershop music in America, and a more harmonious way of getting here would be hard to find. | | | Interest rose and fell through the years but barbershop music outlasted all of those. |
