Text Box: The Bringe Weekly Sports A New, Updated Look For 2007! With 2006 behind us, I thought it would be good to update the look of The Bringe Weekly a bit. Many of you have shared your positive opinions about The Weekly over the last year that I’m committed to keeping it fresh, entertaining and informative. The Weekly, now in its 3rd year, was ready for a face lift. The new colors were chosen after many others were tested on numerous computers. I learned that what looks great on my laptop doesn’t necessarily look great on other monitors. After much “color research” was done, we think that these colors are enjoyable and lively without being dark or too intense. We’ve also moved our site links to the side and updated the “official” Bringe Weekly picture. What will not change is the day we mail it (always on Wednesdays) and the kind of easy-to-read articles and information that we believe you enjoy receiving from Bringe Music each week! Enjoy! Text Box: Music Plays Prominent Role In President’s State Funeral! For those of you fortunate enough to hear or watch the state funeral for President Ford, the occasion was solemn and befitting a head of state. It was made more so by the glorious music of the US Marine Chamber Orchestra and the Armed Forces Chorus. I was able to listen on line and was in tears each time they played and sang. They were, in a word, awe-inspiring. Listening to these dedicated soldiers perform ‘America The Beautiful’ made my heart burst with pride to be an American. I hope you had the chance to hear them too!

The month of January over the years has brought an eclectic group of musicians into the world! Among the assorted luminaries are: Django Reinhardt (1910), Skitch Henderson (1918), Justin Timberlake (1981), Stephan Grapelli (1908), Steven Stills (1945), Patty Loveless (1956), Marilyn Manson (1969), Joan Baez (1941) and Janis Joplin (1943). Of course, we cannot forget to mention one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756) … or our own Debbie Heffern who was born on January 24th! Debbie, you are in very good musical company! Text Box: One More Week To Register For Guitar Or Theory Course!
