Ear Training Lesson!

Made this specifically for Jack, though anyone who hasn't done much relative pitch ear training should benefit!Sing each interval as you hear them. For the 1st note of the interval, sing "perfect" and on the 2nd note of the interval sing "fifth". Do this every day. After a while you'll remember how this interval sounds. Do this with all intervals and then you will have all the intervals in music memorised in your mind, which helps with everything you do with music.The spellings of the intervals need to be remembered too.Here are the perfect fifth spellings. Perhaps pick one note group a day to learn, and over a few weeks, you'll gradually have them all remembered:Cb - GbC - GC# - G#Db - AbD - AD# - A#Eb - BbE - BE# - B#Fb - CbF - CF# - C#Gb - DbG - DG# - D#Ab - EbA - EA# - E#Bb - FB - F#A tip is, for each note group, you only have to remember one of the interval spellings, e.g. only A and E, and not A# and E# since it's easy to remember that all the others are just flat and sharp! The only exception is the last group, Bb - F, and B and F# since they're spelled a little differently.Hope this makes sense,Dom

C.W. McCall ~ Classified

C.W. McCall is William Dale Fries, Jr. (born November 15, 1928, Audubon, Iowa, United States).In 1973, while working as a creative director for Bozell & Jacobs, an Omaha, Nebraska advertising agency, Fries created a Clio Award-winning [1974] television advertising campaign for the Metz Baking Company. The ads featured a truck driver named C.W. McCall, who was played by Dallas, Texas actor, Jim Finlayson. The commercial's success led to songs such as "Old Home Filler-Up an' Keep on a-Truckin' Café", "Wolf Creek Pass", and "Black Bear Road". Fries sang and wrote the lyrics, and Chip Davis, later of Mannheim Steamroller, wrote the music.McCall is best known for the 1976 #1 hit song "Convoy", which came at the peak of the CB fad in the United States. Far from a one-hit wonder, McCall first charted the song "Wolf Creek Pass", which hit #40 on the U.S. pop top 40 in 1975. At least three other songs hit Billboard's pop Hot 100, including "Old Home Filler-Up an' Keep on a-Truckin' Cafe", "'Round the World with the Rubber Duck" (a pirate-flavored sequel to "Convoy"), as well as the environmentally-oriented "There Won't Be No Country Music (There Won't Be No Rock 'n' Roll)". A dozen McCall songs hit Billboard's country singles chart, including the sentimental "Roses For Mama" (1977).In 1978, the movie Convoy was released, based on the C.W. McCall song. The film starred Kris Kristofferson, Ali MacGraw, Burt Young and Ernest Borgnine and was directed by Sam Peckinpah. It featured a new version of the song, written specifically for the film.In addition to the "original six" McCall albums released between 1975 and 1979, two rare singles exist. "Kidnap America" was a politically/socially-conscious track released in 1980 during the Iran hostage crisis, while "Pine Tar Wars" referred to an event that actually happened in a New York Yankees-Kansas City Royals baseball game in 1983.In 1986, McCall (William Fries) was elected mayor of the town of Ouray, Colorado, ultimately serving for six years.In 1990, American Gramaphone Records issued a CD containing a number of old McCall tracks re-recorded for the digital CD age, plus a new song, "Comin' Back For More", which was inspired by Alferd Packer, an alleged cannibal from the 19th century.Wolf Creek Pass is an album by country musician C. W. McCall, released in 1975 on MGM Records. It was recorded following the success of a song from the album, "Old Home Filler-up an' Keep on a-Truckin' Cafe", which was used in a popular television commercial that helped kickstart McCall's career. McCall himself was the pseudonym of Bill Fries and was convened by Fries along with Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller fame. The album concentrated predominantly on themes related to trucking, with many of them based on events in Fries' life. The album also contained the eponymous song "Wolf Creek Pass", which helped popularize the pass itself. The actual "Old Home Filler-up an' Keep on a-Truckin' Cafe" was located in Pisgah, Iowa.

McCain Defends GOP Lack of Diversity By Ignoring It

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/09/07/face-the-nation-mccain-defends-gop-lack-of-diversity-by-ignoring-the-question/What is it about McCain ignoring the actual questions and answering questions never asked? And of course, Bush golfing buddy Bob Schieffer never points out that he didn't actually answer question about why there are so few African-Americans in the Republican Party and how that might affect the long term outlook on his party but lets him instead go on a five minute, rambling non-sequitur about education vouchers. SCHIEFFER: I want to ask you about the composition of the...of the convention. There were 36 African American delegates out of 2300 plus delegates there. How can you survive as a party if you become just the party of white people? McCAIN: We can't. We can't. I saw a bit of information the other day that by, I forgot, I think...don't hold me to it, 2042 or something like that, white Americans will be in the minority in the population of this country. We can't. We've got to reach out; we gotta do a better job. We have to have the Hispanic as well as the African American voters. I've traveled all over this country. I've been to places where there were literally no Republican votes. I have to convince them I'll be the president of everybody. And the Republican party has a job to do. And frankly, it's a job that also spills over into other issues. You've seen the generic ballot difference that we have...[..] SCHIEFFER: So what are you going to do about that? McCAIN: Oh, education, economy, small business, create jobs....education, as I mentioned, civil rights issue of this century. Now everyone has equal access to a school. But what's the point of access to a failed school, or a failing school? We've got to give them more choice, more opportunity, all Americans. Because we know in low income America, the schools are failing, with the exception of NYC, now New Orleans and some others. But so, a quality education is really the dream of every parent. As you know in Washington DC, they have an experimental voucher system. Huge number of parents want to take advantage of that, thousands more than they have room for. So we got to provide the kinds of opportunities in education, one of the keys to it, help for small businesses, and get the economy back on its feet, don't raise the taxes, get it going again. Americans are hurting in a way that they have not hurt for a long time. I would probably argue to you that the 65 appearances - I hate to keep bringing that up - that we probably--you and I-never had a conversation when our economy was in greater difficulty than it is today.Okay, McSame...obviously continuing Bush's policies will change the economy and the minorities' outlook on the GOP how? Here's a helpful hint from someone who hopes you never step foot in the Oval Office: if you really want to attract minorities to the GOP, you have to address these issues.
