playing in the ocean until our lips turned blue... rolling around in the sand, trying to get warm. Swami's, Del Mar, Leucadia, Beacons. Spf 4 was high test. Watching a bootleg copy of Big Wednesday in Encinitas, and being a little too young to understand.

Wow this thread needs more mayonnaise on its cracker. Only one mention of Motown and no call outs for southern gospel where it all started.

I had and then, sadly, lost a CD called Red, Hot, and Country that included a rendition of Teach Your Children Well done by CSN and Suzy Boggus, Alison Kraus, and Kathy Mattea...some of my favorite harmonizing ever.

The Cox Family does some of my favorite bluegrass harmonies.

But there's nothing like sitting in a theater or church listening to a hundred voices do eight part harmony. No recording can ever create that.

Better yet...to be one of the voices and feel it "click". It's like clipping the anchors after your hardest handcrack effort ever at Indian Creek...all simple and hard at the same time. Perfect.

Lots of good stuff here, but I'm a bit surprised no contributions from the 30's and 40's. Vocal harmonies were incredibly common to the point of being almost a cliche for the period.

I recently got XM radio and have a whole new appreciation due to the 40's channel.

Just heard indigo girls. Their harmonies are deeply nourishing. Anyone else at the festival?

Steeleye Span (English traditional) is very good, particulary on "Gaudete". Although the Medieval Babes aren't bad either.

#1 Keith RIchards. Simply the grittiest and most organic harmonizing/backup by any of the rock and rollers in the history of rock.
#2 Emmylou with anyone.
#3 Eagles
#4 Delaney and Bonnie
#5 Al Green and Lyle Lovett
#6 BB King and Bobby Blue Bland

Daphne, I was going, but the long drive from LA, combined with a cold caused me to pass. :(

I've recently found that David Grisman and his musicians are based up there, and often perform in the area.

And here is another venue of harmony, Keith Terry's body music, also based out of SF, that is amazing. I was at this performance:

For my Canadian friends, I totally forgot about Ian and Sylvia Tyson. I learned how to harmonize from them.

This is one of my new favourite songs with some good harmonies. Warning: The video is more than a little creepy.
