Show EFFECTIVE SINGING BY MENON HIKES ( AMP KEARNY. San Diego, Cal., inl 26. --Some of the most effective 1 siniring lessons are tho-e given to men while on a "hike." according to Leroy W. Allen, music director for the 40tb division. While singing at field camps is recreational to a large decree, Mr. Allen says, nevertheless, the men give it particular attention as a variation from cairo routine which is more noticeable no-ticeable in the field than in the big cantonment here; and consequently get more out of it. Singing in a field camp generally re-solves re-solves itself into one or two regimental regiment-al lessons on some particular song and then a series of "campfire songs" in which the men gather around the blazing blaz-ing iocs in traditional style and sing literally anything and everything, from grand opera to ragtime. And there are men in nearly every regiment regi-ment who have made a living singing both. |
