Merle is acknowledged to be one of the biggest stars in country music with 31 #1 hits and a bunch of national awards. His performance history is outstanding, and he became popular with all kinds of people, not just the country folks. We will cover his career with all its substance, but will also learn about his song-writing style, the subject matter he covered, and the way his life - a very dramatic one - interacted with his music. We will watch Youtube videos of his work, read articles about him, and listen to local performers talk and perform his works.

  • There are no required texts.
Daley, Ford

Ford’s interest in non-classical music started in childhood. He loves to share musical experiences and ideas and its impact on our lives. He sings and plays guitar, harmonica, and Dobro.

 

Paul is a life-long singer and has vast knowledge of secular and religious music. He performs with the Lyme Church Choir, the choral group “Full Circle,” the Doo-Wop group “The Charades,” and as tenor for the “Pawley Daley Duo.”

 

Julia has always been in love with music. She has performed most of her life, as a Whipple Hill Gang member, and is now half of “Daley With Julia.”
