Mountain Folk Band CD Benefit for Readers<br />
When Berks Countains<br />
think bluegrass, they<br />
think of “East Side” Dave<br />
Kline. His foot-tapping<br />
music is revered throughout<br />
bluegrass circles, in Berks<br />
and beyond. His group, the<br />
Mountain Folk Music Band,<br />
has performed at the Berks<br />
County Fiddle Festival,<br />
Kutztown Folk Festival, Riverfest, Lyons Fiddle<br />
Festival, Cherry Blossom Festival and with Rhonda<br />
Vincent & the Rage.<br />
The person behind the guitar is just as engaging<br />
Riddle Answers<br />
Answers to Word Scramble, Music Question and Riddles in Last News of Note<br />
On page 2 of our Summer 2009 News of Note, we challenged the county’s music teachers to write<br />
about the mentor who inspired them, and we challenged our readers with a word scramble, a music<br />
theory question, and several riddles. Here are the answers:<br />
Word Scramble<br />
How many English words can you find within<br />
“bassoon”? We found the following 15:<br />
An Bassoon Snob<br />
As Boon So<br />
Ass Boss Sob<br />
Ban Nab Son<br />
Bass On Soon<br />
Music Question<br />
If the clef alone were changed from bass to treble, a<br />
bassoonist’s C major arpeggio would represent the<br />
dominant chord in what other key?<br />
This one is tricky! Changing the clef alone, the C major<br />
arpeggio (or broken chord) would contain the notes A, C<br />
and E in the treble clef, which would sound as an a minor<br />
chord and be the dominant chord in the key of d minor.<br />
To keep the chord a major chord would require that we<br />
sharp its third to become a C#, and that chord would be<br />
the dominant chord in the key of D major.<br />

how did RMF itself answer the challenge posed to the<br />
county’s music teachers?<br />
Between December of 2004 and June of 2005, RMF<br />
honored Kim Webster, Ann Cusano, Don Hinkle,<br />
Peter Brye and Willis Rapp for their extraordinary<br />
efforts as music teachers in Berks County by appending<br />
their names to a total of four new permanent music<br />
scholarship programs at RMF. These represented the<br />
Foundation’s first permanent scholarships named for<br />
living persons. Jim Seidel was honored at the same time<br />
by RMF’s commission of a new work for concert band,<br />
“Music in the Wings,” premiered by The Ringgold Band<br />
the following April.<br />
What does a bassoon have to do with all of this?<br />
Please read the article on the following page about the gift<br />
of a new bassoon to RMF’s instrument-lending program<br />
in honor of Edward J. Gobrecht, Jr., a retired member of<br />
the Ithaca College music faculty.<br />
