"' mrfll.‘l sarrell . , . I Harmonizing Sharp and Flat «& 3 w uk A Insthilation of storm sewers has ¢losed four roads to through trafâ€" fie in Etobicoke, traffic coâ€"orâ€" dinator A. P. Martin advised this Work On Sewers Detours Traffic In Etobicoke In nearly every crowd you‘ll find the gelfâ€"appointed leader or director: He‘llâ€" tryâ€"to organize things by dividing the gang into an impromptu choir; the sopranos from the altos; the tenors from the basses; the sheep from the goats . . . but the danger of this is that it many become so organized that the spontaniety is gone. Squelch him. He‘ll spoil everything if you don‘t! Those who CAN sing "in harmony" usually do so on their own, and the group evolves unexpectedly into something akin to the Mendelssohn Choir in one way or another, anyâ€" way. 4 * I never heard the old song "O Promise Me!" without cringing a I!ttleâ€"remembering. We were singing ‘round the piano one night when two girls who had been practicing if for a wedding offered to sing it for us. It was a duet, and a more remarkable performance could never be imagined. The soprano sang SHARP and her little Triend the contralto sang ber part FLAT. I‘m still wondering how it would have sounded viceâ€"versa. Closer harmony perhaps? We. all felt slightly sorry for the wedding guests. * The singers don‘t seem to mind the nonâ€"singers watching . . . especially after they really getâ€"going. They become fascinated with the sounds they are making and never want to stop. No one has any compunetion, either, as to how they sound . . . and some of them leave much to be desired!â€"The overâ€"all effect, though,i hall.we say, inâ€" teresting ? . . 1 K 1 There arc lots of soloists, real or imaginary at these "do‘s" and whent the "real" ones are discovered it is a joy to sit back and listen to someone who has given most of his. or her life to music and is so willing to share it with closeâ€"friends. Their performance is doubly appreciated too, since it giv gasping guests time to get their breath or to wet their whiom _ = The other kind of soloisweé to. sing louder than the rest! And if_there are two of them it‘s lots of fun watching them trying to outâ€"sing each other! y ' One night recently we were singing some Christmas carols and thought we were doing quite well. We we doing all four parts if you please. Well, one of theâ€" tenorfr little out of practice, probably) got out of bounds, of out of his range, or something, but nevertheâ€" less carried on with itâ€"his voice taking on that haunting quality of the obe while he soared to great heights and swooped down again. The rest of us seemed â€"lost‘in admiration, but his wife, when the last eerie note had faded away and the song ended, said: "You know, dear, that, sounded exactly like when you get over on your back in bed at night! Snoring for all the world as though someone was after you!" Even some Singâ€"Songs can get into the doldrums too. The best recipe for that is to throw in something with a fast beat like, "The Same Old Shillelagh Me Father Brought From Ireland", "With A Little Bit of Luck" . . . or tease them with the easilyâ€"sung harmonies of "Sweet Adoline" and "Down By The Old Mill Stream". Yes, juggle your songs around to suit the mood of the party like the smart hostesses do. The guests have lost their voices by the end of the evening, but nevertheless they manage to make you underâ€" stand that they had fun doing it! » j e And what a thrill it is to have the parting guests it was the best party they‘ve been to for ages! & se I started.to say, back ‘there, that the smart hostess doesn‘t up and ANNOUNCE the whoopâ€"deâ€"doo she‘s got up her sleeve. Instead, she or a guest unobstrusively starts diddling away on the piano preâ€" tending to falter through some intriguing things like "Laura . . . is the face in the misty light . .. Footsteps . . . that you hear down the hall . . . " and pretty soon eVu;gr.n: is gathered ‘round, trying to help, with their "No, no, it goes like this . . . Dumâ€"Dum, daâ€"deâ€"dum dum dum hm hm hmmmm . . . " or "The last line is, ‘dum, dum, dum, but she‘s only a dream‘ . . . " and finally someone will say "Why don‘t you play something we ALL know ?" and the party‘s on! From there, as you know, they‘ll tackle anything. As long as the pianist will piay, they‘ll go on and on. Everyone loves to sing! Well, almost gveryone. There are those who love to listen and watch. Their plea ‘of "Can‘t carry a tuneâ€"never could!"â€"offered to justify their inability to rise to the occasionâ€"puts them in the lodge seats for the best "floor show" in town! tC __ If you doubt all this . . . if you just don‘t bw that the people you‘ve been associatin[g with all these years LOVE to sing ("Ha!" I can Ahéur“you say, "Old Bertie Barnflipper sing? Why all he‘s good for is calling the pigs for dinner!") . . . Well, all I can say is, give it a try. Dq you know. I‘ve seen "cardâ€"shark" hostesses tearing their hair because their nicelyâ€"planned card party has changed to a sponâ€" taneous evening of whooping it up ‘round the piano when some musical soul got too close to the piano and got itâ€"going. does it differently. There are the wideâ€"openâ€"mouthed, unrestrained, doubleâ€"forté, noâ€"holdsâ€"barred revelers; in marked contrast are the lads and ladies who sing through their teethâ€"producing piercing tones of which they are proud; while still others go through agonizing facial contortions ywith their mouths closed, making one wonder if they are "sending" through their ears or are afraid of losing their uppers. Funny thin% about Singâ€"Songs . . . have, you noticed how flat they seem when everyone sits in a circle, in the livingâ€"room . . . singing along with one of those "singâ€"song" records? (Apparently we just don‘t like to watch each other sing!) ‘Round a campfire? . . . Well, now, that‘s different. It‘s usually rather. dark, and everyone stares into the fire, for a little private dreaming whilst he sings with the gang. ‘Round the piano: too, most of us will raise the rafters. We‘re leaning on each other, perhaps swayi in rhythm, or peering at the words over the pianist‘s lhonl;:. In other words, we‘re completely absorbed and have lost lflyfnhibitionx we might have had about our ability to make delightâ€" ful musical sounds. . _ Watching and listening from the sidelines, one is struck by the | _ _ _ Crushed Stone _ _ _ _ fact ehat;'flfinuxh ('II'L vf us l‘re;kimll:rly equipped !gr iingl'n{;xucji‘ ~Grading and Frontâ€"End Loaders Hnce 4 Wiffeeabtte SET SACOEE .
