>>> But what I want to know, Untrained Voice, is if you work with Mrs. Poultice, how come you are called the UNtrained Voice. The girls told me she gave you an "A" in breathing. Laura Lee Hobbs, Dime Store Clerk and Gold Truck Watcher extraordinaire<<<<
Well Laura Lee Hobbs. Thanks so much for the 50 cents credit. You may not be a millionaire, but you got a heart o'gold. I'll take the bouncy ball and the whistle and I think that leaves a nickel for mints. (I don't care what color the centers are). OK, now about me being "Untrained". Well you see I've been working with Mrs. Poultice for a period of months now, but I've still got a tendency to breathe in through the mouth and out through the nose. She says air comes up from my lungs out through my nose without ever stopping for modulation. And then I've got this here thing in my nose called a deviated rectum, or something like that, and I think a fracture of the Uvula oblingata. (that's the brains of the throat). So you see, I've gotta a few years and some surgeries before I can be considered a "Trained Voice", and then another 5 years, according to Barney, before I can be at performing level as a soloist. I was hoping John Masters would just hide me behind some girls. I won't obtrude too much. Actually I got the name Untrained Voice several years ago when I started writing Fan Fiction. Some folks liked the stories and some didn't because they weren't real episodes, and I'm not a real writer...just kind of a pretender after the fact. "Untrained Writer" didn't sound to good, so the Untrained Voice seemed to fit. Well then with all the singing in Mayberry, folks naturally thought I was a big bundle of raw singin' Talent like Gomer and Leonard Blush....so I thought I would learn (so as not to disappoint them) I went to Mrs. Poultice (in secret to learn to sing) and now we're back at the beginning of the story. The only thing I really get As in is holding the music straight. I get D's in breathin, B's in enunciating, and C's in smiling (but I'm tutoring with Mr. Schwamp) The Untrained Voice--with the Rest of the Story It was nice of the girls to say I get As in breathin, and "What of it! Lots of people lie at Lunch!" _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
