HARP AND VOICE — Touring throughout Ontario through Youth and
Music is the duo of Lyracord. 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

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.

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 "
