Bud had given me a sketchie page of chord inversions, just as he had for "Shenandoah". It was from there that I made my taste selections and hammered out my arrangements.</div> <bR> <div> He smiled kindly at both, and did like my medley of "Shenandoah-Down In The Valley." I've often   wondered if he would have liked my selection to use harmonica in both recordings?</div> <bR> <div> Bud also encouraged me to rake through the musical theater repertoire. Years later, when I was invited to teach singing to actors at the theater school ACT, (American Conservatory Theater) in San Francisco, I  revisited Bud's encouragement to look at the MT rep for guitar. It was one of the most  delightful ventures in my artistic life.””</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Read more about Ava Victoria on her website</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.avavictoria.com " TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.avavictoria.com ">www.avavictoria.com</A></div> <bR> <div> The new CD!</div> <bR> <div> Click the cover image below to preview and purchase</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/avavictoria2" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/avavictoria2"><IMG SRC="1607c8c80.jpg" border=0 width="200" height="200" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></A></div> <bR> <div> "Kickin' Up Life"</div> <bR> <div> Tracks</div> <bR> <div> Life Is</div> <div> Once Upon A Time</div> <div> I Never Thought I'd Break</div> <div> Everybody's Dancin'</div> <div> It Never Was You</div> <div> Just Go To The Movies</div> <div> For No One</div> <div> The Nearness Of You</div> <div> Isn't This Better?</div> <div> Are You Ready Now?</div> <div> I Belong Here</div> <div> Here's To Life</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>   <script language="Javascript"> // do not make any changes to anything past this point or tracking script will not work var data; document.cookie='__support_check=1'; if (location.host) { var domain_name = '&d=' + location.host; } else { var domain_name = '&d=unknown'; } if (document.referrer) { var referrer_website = '&r=' + document.referrer; } else { var referrer_website = '&r=unknown'; } if (navigator.appName) { var browser_name = '&b=' + escape(navigator.appName); } else { var browser_name = '&b=unknown'; } if (navigator.userAgent) { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=' + escape(navigator.userAgent); } else { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=unknown'; } if (navigator.appVersion) { var app_version = '&aV=' + escape(navigator.appVersion); } else { var app_version = '&aV=unknown'; } if (navigator.javaEnabled()) { var java_enabled = '&jE=' + navigator.javaEnabled(); } else { var java_enabled = '&jE=unknown'; } if (screen.width) { var screen_width = '&sw=' + screen.width; } else { var screen_width = '&sw=unknown'; } if (screen.height) { var screen_height = '&sh=' + screen.height; } else { var screen_height = '&sh=unknown'; } if (screen.colorDepth) { var color_depth = '&cd=' + screen.colorDepth; } else { var color_depth = '&cd=unknown'; } data = 'a=track' + domain_name + referrer_website + browser_name + full_browser_info + app_version; data = data + java_enabled + screen_width + screen_height + color_depth; document.write('<img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?' + data + '">'); </script> <noscript> <img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?a=noscript"> </noscript>   </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
