Ms. McBride,
Hello. My name is
Allison
Deal. I am a close friend of Shiloh & Chelsea Beck. In
fact, Shiloh is my husband's office manager.
Shiloh & Chelsea
speak of you
often & have recently opened my ears & heart to the world of
Yodeling. I just wanted to write to tell you that I think Chelsea
has a really promising future in music. She has really come a long
way in such a short time. I am really impressed. Actually, I
was really never a true yodeling fan before Chelsea started. I have
really come to love the music.
You have done some
awesome work
alone & with others. I think you have a grand pair of wings
reserved for you in a higher place for the time you have taken with
Chelsea & others to help start & further their careers
along. It seems that these days people are just too busy to help
others & I am grateful that there are people like you who are
willing to help our children (or children at heart..like me) get
started.
Another reason I am writing
is
because I read your Bio on your website & am really curious if you
know my parents or at least my Dad. It seems you were in So. Calif.
at the same time and knew the same people.
My Daddy's name
is Forrest Loughridge (AKA Bud, Bondie, FB).
My Mom's name
is Pat or Patricia. They were best friends with Phil Baugh
until they decided to move back to Oklahoma in 1970. My
Daddy
had been a musician for years & when he moved to OK decided to give
it
up...he has retired this year & after 34 years has dedcided to start
again. It's such a small world. We have home movies of Phil
at
Disney Land with my family. I'm not in them because I wasn't born
until they moved back to OK, but I heard all the great stories. Just
reading all of this blew me away. I couldn't get in touch with my
Daddy today to ask him if he knows you; but I told Shiloh about it.
Chelsea played with my Dad a couple of months ago & he thinks she's
pretty awesome.
That's really all I wanted to
say, just that I think what you are doing is awesome.
