The Missouri-based barbershop quartet, Rural Route 4, got its start in 1971. The original members were three farmers and one carpenter (who also grew up on a farm) from Cass County, Missouri. 15 years later (and after two personnel changes), Rural Route 4 won the international quartet championship in 1986. Here, the quartet sings an excerpt from the 1904 song "On the Farm in Old Missouri." Note: the two Yoder brothers still own their farm, but they had to sell their dairy business in the mid-1990s. KCUR's Laura Spencer caught up with the group in a break room at the Sprint Center during the 73rd Annual Barbershop Harmony Society International Convention (www.barbershop.org) in Kansas City, Mo., July 2011.
