May 2008 NEWSLETTER
Greetings!
 “It’s May, it’s May, the merry month of May”
‘Tis a line from one of the songs in Camelot, the soundtrack from this movie being a favorite of Ted’s and mine. Unfortunately, none of these favorites are on the “Wedding” DVD.
(Nice segue, Barbara)
Regarding the “Ted Greene Plays at the Backenstoe Wedding” DVD, as of this writing (4/25) there are still about 40 DVDs available. This offer is going to end on May 31st. Perhaps sometime in the future we will again make this offer available.
THEREFORE, YOU HAVE UNTIL MAY 31st TO SEND FOR THE DVD.
On a more personal note: Many of you are not aware how difficult it is to bring into being special offers such as the above mentioned, in addition to my sometimes chaotic quotidian existence, to which now is added the task of writing Ted’s bio/memoirs.
(As Ted always said, “I’m not complainin’, just explainin’)
This is a long, arduous labor of love, so please do not even think of asking about a date of completion!
Hence, I would like all of you to make the acquaintance of Nick Stasinos, a talented student of Ted’s and also a mutual friend of ours. Nick will be assisting me with the website, including all future projects, such as special DVDs and CDs of the incredible Ted Greene.
It was Nick who came to my aid this month and offered his help when finding me overwhelmed by “everything,” and I graciously accepted.
If you have any questions or suggestions, you may contact either one of us through the website, and/or of course the master Webmaster, the inimitable Dan Sindel.
Since it is Spring, the idea of spreading beauty through music comes to my mind again and again, this being so, I wanted to dedicate this month’s lessons and song to encouraging this ineffable concept.
NEW LESSONS FOR MAY:
Chord Studies
Chord Substitution Pt.2 (pages 6-10...)
Tunes:
When You Wish Upon a Star
Baroque:
Counterpoint - 2 voices yielding 3
May the beauty of Ted’s music continue to permeate the universal spheres.
Enjoy,
Barbara Franklin
