An Inspiration to Us All!
Doris Sparks, one of our older
students, started playing the banjo when she was 70!!! Here she
is at a recent family reunion, where she is
"Great Grandma Doris with the banjo."
This year, Doris wrote a song about growing up in the hills of Kentucky
with her brother, Jim, who is seated beside her in the photo.
Doris regularly performs at McCutcheon Music's free student recitals,
and is 10 times older than many
of the other performers! She is always a hit! |

The "Voice of Americana"
Winner!
Allison Sproull, a student of Joy Davis, was the winner of the
2004 Voice of Americana Contest, sponsored by the Centerville Kiwanis
Club.
It was a talent search for some of the best singers that
Centerville has to offer.
Allison received a $500 dollar check, an
appearance on channel 2 with
Jim Bucher on "Bucher's Beat,"
and she got to ride in the Americana Parade.
Allison says, "It
was probably one of the most rewarding experiences
I have ever had,
and I am really glad that I took the opportunity."
Allison (right) is pictured here with Joy Davis,
who holds a masters
degree in voice and has taught at McCutcheon Music
for over 15 years.
Congratulations to you both!
