Subject: RE: Getaway 2010 Program Planning
I still want to see the Getaway "stump the stars" fundraiser.

Anybody who wants to enter puts up $5. They sing a couple of verses of a traditional song and stop at a random point selected by the "referee". If Judy Cook can sing the next line, then the scholarship fund gets the $5. If the singer stumps her, then the singer gets to keep their $5.

Actually, Judy herself isn't absolutely necessary as the "expert". There are other knowledgeable people around. We could probably find a panel that knows about as many songs as Judy if we had enough chairs to seat them. It's just that it seems to me that she knows every song that has ever been sung since time of the lyre.

I think this is the third year I have proffered this pearl. If no one picks it up this time, I will surrender this idea to its apparent doom and try to think of something else good enough for this excellent event.
