Dang. I really hate I missed seeing Ginny and Tracy. They can really carry the mail.
I remember a couple years ago at the CCMC camp, Ginny was teaching singing class. She's fun to hang around, just straight ahead and unpretentious. I was walking across the way there during an off period for me. Her class was in a grove of redwoods there and she was teaching the class an old Kitty Wells honky tonk song. As I walked by I overheard her say to the men something to the effect of, " ...now when it gets your part, I don't want to hear none of this woooooooo, wooooooo, wooooooo, stuff. I know what you men want. You sing your part to these women like you're trying to get laid." It did the trick. She not only got the men's attention, but changed the way they sang the line because she hit a nerve. Effective teaching, I'd say. Tracy is a wealth of information on old time styles of music. A soft- spoken man. Lots to learn there. TBug On Oct 26, 12:04 pm, Mark Seale <[email protected]> wrote: > It certainly was a great show. Ginny and Tracy are treasures for continuing > the music.
