PAST TENSE:
Betty and her older brother lived with their parents on a cotton farm about half-way between Amherst and Sudan, about fifty miles northwest of Lubbock, and close to the center of the Texas Panhandle (the part of Texas that sticks up). Living on the farm had its blessings, such as space, land, sky, and seeing stars at night. The negative points were distance from grocery stores, school, church, and friends. Betty's mother saw to it that her daughter had piano lessons. Betty loved playing piano and singing. She was never lonely with music as her best friend. From the time she was eight years old, she was singing specials in church. When she was about twelve, she began playing piano in church, too. Betty also loved to read. One summer she kept a record of the books she read in June, July, and August. The list included twenty-seven novels. After high-school graduation, Betty went to university to continue her studies in music. A year later, Betty was married. Another year later, she had a son. She dropped out of school. Seven years later, she had a daughter. Betty returned to university to continue her music education. After graduation, Betty moved to Borger, TX, where she taught general music, choir, recorders, and guitar for twenty-three years. |

Melody Street: Story and Illustrations
I remember learning this when you were my music teacher. I just had to buy this book. I really enjoy your Melody Street. It gives me hope that I can pass the Kodaly levels. Do you think that practicing the songs using your Melody Street part three will help me? I am using your parts one and two for my third graders. Guitars & Folk Songs: An Anthology
Your one chord pdfs with color drawings and standard notation and chord in corner are awesomely helpful. WOW! Thank you so very much. This is the best information of all. I am so glad I found you. |
The Story of Glops series
What a wonderful way to show that God has a purpose for each and every creature. True to the Scriptures ... children and adults of all ages will enjoy ... “Glops” can ignite a child’s imagination and become a teaser for children so they want to listen to or read the full story Children will love the stories and will also be enlightened and entertained by color photographs scattered throughout the book. Glops are so personally involved with the people of the Bible that the reader can feel as if he/she is there, observing and interacting. Biblical themes of trust, obedience, and faith educate readers about God's eternal love. What a fantastic story to teach the children about the Bible! In fact, I think it may teach the parents stories from the Bible also. |
My books are self-published and depend mostly on word-of-mouth for promotion.
