It’s April 11. 
Today is “National Barbershop Quartet Day.”  In a quartet, would you sing as lead, tenor,  baritone, bass…or just badly?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   A normal human has four vocal chords, but only two of them actually work; we all have two “false vocal chords.”  These noisy animals don’t have any vocal chords: dolphins, whales, condors, storks, and cicadas.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “The only thing better than singing is more singing.”  --Ella Fitzgerald (American jazz singer)
Vocabulary Word of the Day:  a capella (adverb) – this Italian phrase is used in English to describe singing that is done without instrumental accompaniment.  Where is your favorite place to sing a capella?
