Still on my harmony kick, I'll pass along a different type of harmony, consisting of "parallel thirds," in which each melody line can stand on its own as a separate melody, not just in conjunction with the other melody. The masters of this were, of course, the Everly Brothers. Here are a couple of more modern performers who also love good harmony -- Jackson Browne and Timothy B. Schmit (of the Eagles) -- doing their tribute to the Everlys' style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaDYWCti5yY
