Gianetta Baril and James McLean will be performing in Grand Bend on Saturday, March 23 at a 2:00 matinee. New date is set for third concert The Grand Bend Concert Associa- tion will present the third series con- cert in the United Church on Satur- day, March 23 at 2:00 p.m. James McLean, tenor of Lyracord, has been chosen to sing in the opera in West Germany. He will be leaving after this concert. Thus, the update for the duo, Lyracord to perform here. Lyracord have just completed a successful Saskatchewan tour for Youth and Music. Now in Ontario, they are becoming well known, presenting folk music to grand opera aria. Harpist Gianetta Baril, as a soloist, has made numerous appearances >-_ `wftll fi ou orchestra, Mary's Musings For the first time, there is someone who enjoys my singing. My baby daughter, Chelsey, actually thinks I can sing, and i haven't told her any different. This comes as quite a surprise, because for years now, everyone, par- ticularly my husband, has been tell- ing me I can't sing. If we are enjoy- ing a nice car ride and 1 happen to start singing, my husband turns up the car radio, drowning me out -- a rather strong hint, don't you think'' Similarly, if I'm singing around the house, he'll. crank up the stereo, so that rock and roll is reverberating from the rafters. If i get too carried away singing the hymns in church, he shuts the hymnary on my finger. Or if we're at the Playhouse and I'm singing along with a musical, I'm apt to get a sharp elbow in the ribs and perhaps a dirty look from the row ahead. You may have guessed that I enjoy singing, but until Chelsey came along, no one enjoyed listening. But she thinks my singing voice is just fine.

Ia�ktt end 'un FUNERAL HOME 223 Main St. Lucan 227-4211 By Mary Alderson During playtime, she particularly en- joys a rousing rendition of "I'm a lit- tle teapot". When your arms are very short and very chubby it's difficult to make a handle, but she's doing well on the spout. When it's time to go to sleep, she's not too discriminating- any song will do. Unfortunately, some nights as it gets later, Mom runs out of ideas. I begin to wish 1 had paid more atten- tion to the words of the tunes in Sun- day School or at summer camp. i sometimes think I know the first line to every song there is, but after that i have to resort to dum-de-dums. Chelsey's room is like a baby ver- sion of "Name that Tune". She has assorted music boxes that she enjoys listening to -- a plaid Loch Ness monster that plays the "Blue Bells of Scotland", a clown that appropriate- ly plays "Send in the clowns", a choo- choo train that plays "Rock -a -bye Baby" and a toy box that plays the "Toy Soldier" song. Over her crib a mobile, featuring Tigger and Piglet and the gang, plays the Winnie -the - Pooh theme song. After listening to all her wind up music boxes, Chelsey's going to think that all these songs start out with a very fast tempo, but end up very slowly. Having a baby not only improves your singing voice, it changes your speaking voice too. When talking to a baby, your voice automatically moves up two octaves, and cutsie- wootsie words with a funny lisp come out. For some reason, I also use this same voice when speaking to our dog, Pepper. So now poor Pepper comes running every time 1 speak to Chelsey. There are problems with this voice usually reserved for kids and dogs. You know you've been talking to the baby too much, when one day, when the baby's fast asleep and the dog's outside on the step, you find yourself saying out loud, in high pitched tones with a lisp, "Well. i better go make the beddie now " Engineering that's lust out of this world Heavenly pictures at down-to- earth prices Uniden Television Systems ,�c.�n tete TV & Appliances RR 2 Gond Bend 238-8270 a ona ' th Legion Branch 498 Lou Hamilton and Keith Crawford took 10 out of 12 games in the dart play Tuesday evening.
