California Humming Birds

Notes:

Barbershop music can be repetitive, but the California Hummingbirds sing “Ain’t She Sweet” with an authenticity and humor that lifts them above the mundane. Be sure to listen to the end for a musical introduction to the singers — Adler, Weil and Herman. With piano accompaniment.
