30 Day Song Challenge | Day 7: Song that Reminds You of a Certain Event

The reason I skipped yesterday’s challenge (Song that Reminds You of Somewhere) is because I kept drawing a blank. Apparently, my brain doesn’t associate music with places. *Shrug*

So, on to a song that reminds me of an event—namely, the Nevada County Fair...ooh...over a decade ago. My brother and three of his friends had formed a Barbershop Quartet over the Summer and decided to enter the Barbershop contest at the Fair that year, just for fun. One of the other quartets sang “Please, Mr. Colombus,” which I thought was a hoot (and which they hammed up better than the fellows in this video).

Interestingly, up until that time, I wasn’t that fond of the name Isabella, but after hearing this song, suddenly it became one of my favorites...which is why one of my Characters bears that name.

Anton Argentos:

And a proper name for a queen, it is, too! <3

Anton.

’Bye.

*Exuant Anton*

And for the record, out of eleven Barbershop Quartets in the competition, Bro’s group won fourth place! They got the highest marks in musicality—I think—and one of the judges said they’d have placed higher if they’d had costumes and choreography, as the ranking was based mostly on showmanship. But hey! Their first competition, and fourth place! I’m still pretty proud of them. 😊
