I’ll never forget Mrs Grieve. My first singing teacher. I was only in primary school (West Gore School) and she would come and pick me up after school in “Isabella” the Morris Minor. I remember fondly the time that Isabella “died” at the bottom of Broughton Street and we had to walk the rest of the way UP to Mitre St to commence that day’s singing lesson. That was a famously “groan” moment.
I can remember sitting in Jenny and Stuart’s lounge room after a lesson and watching “The Flintstones” until Mum or Dad would come to pick me up. I remember Mrs Grieves passion for music. Her abounding enthusiasm for a small country town like Gore to be challenged…
