    MASTERS Audio Club, April 2014 Craig the Barber: the Men's

    MASTERS Audio Club, April 2014 Craig the Barber: The Men’s Grooming Concierge Craig the Barber, CEO of the Grooming Concierge, owner and editor-in-chief of TheMensRoom.com, and men’s grooming contributor to eHow.com, is the consummate source for the grooming needs of Hollywood’s most powerful men. His personal services have been offered at parties hosted by Diddy and Michael Jordan, and he has worked with brands including Estee Lauder’s Lab Series and Braun, to name a few. Interviewed by Winn Claybaugh, Craig shares everything you’d want to know about the ever-growing world of men’s grooming and attracting a male clientele. Winn: Hey everybody, Winn Claybaugh here. Welcome to this wonderful issue of MASTERS. And I love this hot topic; it is hot in the beauty industry. It seems like anything to do these days with men’s haircutting and barbering is what people want to hear about. And I’m just so excited to be sitting here—I love it that you call yourself “Craig the Barber.” Craig, I don’t even know your last name. Craig: I did that for a reason. [laughs] Winn: Oh, okay. [laughs] Craig: I’m just kidding. Winn: So you’re not going to tell me. Craig: I will absolutely tell you. It’s actually Whitely, is the last name. But one of the biggest reasons why I just chose to remove the last name is because I grew up with so many people destroying the spelling and the pronunciation. So I figured if I was going to use it for anything outside of just, you know, signing my rent check or something like that, I figured let’s just do something everyone can spell and pronounce right.

    Barbershop Harmony Lesson Plan a Unique Genre of Music Originating in the United States

    SWEET ADELINES INTERNATIONAL Barbershop Harmony Lesson Plan A Unique Genre of Music Originating in the United States Grade Level: 6 - 12 Suggested Time Allowance: 1 hour Objectives: 1. Listen to and analyze short samples of music in the barbershop genre. 2. Consider the voice parts and ensembles types (quartet vs. chorus) within the genre. 3. Discuss the origin of barbershop music. 4. Experiment with “tag singing” a traditional way of sharing barbershop music. Materials Required: Computer with Internet access, projector, speakers (or SMART Board) Introduce Topic: Have you ever heard of barbershop harmony? Have you ever seen a quartet or a chorus of all men or all women that sing popular songs a cappella, in four-part harmony? Do you think of it as something your grandparents or great grandparents would enjoy? Does the thought of barbershop harmony evoke thoughts of straw hats, striped vests and canes? If so, you’re thinking of the early days of barbershop. Like all music styles, barbershop harmony has expanded, adapted and evolved over time. As each generation exerts influence and takes new risks with a music style, the style continues to grow and change. What fun would it be if no one took any risks? We would never have any variety. What if Elvis hadn’t pushed the envelope? Would we have any of the current pop/rap/rock/heavy metal styles that we have today? Everything that we know today came from somewhere or someone long ago. Barbershop harmony is no different and today it is a unique, American art form.

  • History of Barbershop

    History of Barbershop

    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.

  • Control by Licensing Over Entry Into the Market

    Control by Licensing Over Entry Into the Market

    CONTROL BY LICENSING OVER ENTRY INTO THE MARKET IRwin W. SxLwEAN* L. T. BENNErr, JR.t IvIN LECHLITERtt Much has been said and written concerning the'weaknesses of the distributive processes in America. Undoubtedly, economic forces are at play which clog these processes and thereby militate against the efficient functioning of our capital- istic society. That some of these forces are aided and abetted by ill-advised legislation presents, on its face, a sound premise. Legislation inspired by a sincere and conscientious effort to avoid chaos or collapse of our industrial structure may be just as deadly. Whatever be the objectives of these measures, there is today, under governmental paternalism, an ever-growing mass of restrictive legislation operating to close the avenues of entrepreneurship to untold numbers who might otherwise be engaged in productive activity. To criticize or evaluate motives back of this legislation is not the purpose of this paper. That licensing legislation is restrictive no one will deny. That the state must exercise some degree of control over persons and products in the field of commercial activity is also generally conceded. But, whether such restrictive measures are of benefit to the public and are essential to a more orderly economic society is highly problematical. In the alleged interest of the consumer and defended by doctrines couched in such hackneyed phrases as police power, public health, and public welfare, a mushrooming of legislation has spread designed to effectuate gov- ernmental supervision and control through licensing over many types of trades, businesses and occupations. Among those now embraced are barbers, plumbers, dry cleaners, watchmakers, tailors, food dealers, and bakers.
