CURRENT PROJECTS: (2005-ongoing)
I'm currently recording my first cd with Producer Baxter Taylor, BAX TRAX STUDIOS, Plano TX. Mixed by Johnny Horton, Las Vegas, NV. Baxter was an original member of 1950's-1960's folk group THE WAYFARERS TRIO along with Bill Cheatwood and Mason Williams. Baxter was also a member of THE NEW CHRISTY MINSTRELS. As a BMI songwriter, Baxter co-wrote the no. 1 Billboard Charts (1974) song country rock tune "Marie Lavaux" with Shel Silverstein. The song was covered by Bobby Bare and received popular airplay on country radio. Baxter Taylor, Johnny Horton, Mason Williams, Hoyt Axton, Billy Cheatwood, and Butch Crouch each travelled from the west coast to New York, midwest and southwest in the late 1950's/early 1960's, performing in the early coffeehouse and club circuit, particularly throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana.
THE BOSTON MINSTREL COMPANY (July 2006-ongoing) www.bostonminstrel.com
The Minstrels are a lively troupe of volunteer singers and musicians who have seen how music heals, having visited shelters, residential facilities and prisons each month since 1991. Their interactive pop, rock and folk events touch audiences of about 4,000 each year.
The Boston Minstrels make a strong impact on groups and individuals during shared songfests. A key objective is to motivate individuals in the audience to perform a solo. As singers take the stage, they become the center of “affection” for the entire gathering, and such moments transform entertainment into expressive therapy. Repeating such moments in a community can impact lives in lasting ways.
Led by charismatic Tim McHale, the Minstrels’ first goal at a venue is to generate musical energy, using microphones, amplifiers, and drums. Once the place begins to “rock,” the group sings a few familiar songs, as Tim woos members of the audience to the microphone for a selection from the Minstrels’ songbook. While some sing, others dance, clapping to the beat and singing back up. Whatever anyone has to give is good enough, and Tim keeps everyone from straying too far from the tune.
After an hour of songs, residents and Minstrels form a circle for a couple of closing tunes and spontaneous words of hope and promise at a microphone. In the end, audiences inspire the Minstrels as often as the Minstrels inspire them. Singing together creates safe haven for residents and Minstrels alike, while building bridges between diverse social and ethnic groups.
AWARDS AND RECOGNITION:
October 2007: BANK OF AMERICA NEIGHBORHOOD HERO N.E.I. AWARD; Tim McHale was presented a hero award and a $5000.00 monetary award by Band of America and Boston Mayor Hon.Thomas Menino for his work in bringing music to the homeless and sheltered in the City of Boston.

1995- The BMC was honored by the Boston CBS affiliate WBZ-TV Channel 4, Boston with an award presented on air by Liz Walker in her “Heroes” community service series.
ALLIANCES: The Boston Minstrel Company has an alliance with Berklee College of Music, Music Therapy Department and seeks talented college interns for practical training with targeted populations. Professor Peggy Codding offers the Boston Minstrel Company program advice, program evaluation and design advice and promotes the company among students and faculty. The BMC is looking to build further alliances with additional academic programs to reach young talent at area colleges -- from performance to outreach.
Alliances with music therapy and education centers around Boston can help us: 1: Achieve Minstrel goals including shifting audiences from sorrow to joy; isolation to connection; withdrawal to participation, and self-abasement to self-esteem. Refine evaluation measures of BMC impact at performance venues. Recruit administrative interns. Recruit additional song leaders. Produce new events, recordings and venues.

SEA LEGS: Tales of a Woman Oceanographer(pub. 2003); Author: Kathleen Crane, a Program Manager @ Arctic Research Office - NOAA; "The author is one of the first women oceanographers out of the world-renowned Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, CA. She tells how her quest for freedom led her to the sea to research deep-sea underwater volcanoes. She became an unwitting diplomat through her scientific collaborations with Europeans and Soviets during the height of the Cold War. At it's heart, this story is about humanity and the forces that drive people to persevere, despite the odds, and do the things they love."- liner notes.

I grew up canvassing Harvard Square, Cambridge, singing acapella 4-part harmony on street corners with my Elementary and Junior High school girlfriends from Jazz Band. I'd love to find out where the ladies are now! We'd find a doorway and sing out!
Harvard Square was different then; many more street performers were out doing their thing than there are these days. Competition for prime doorways was great! (There were some doorways that had great acoustics for harmony singing, such as the old, main doorway to the Harvard Coop on Mass. Ave. I remember seeing Tracy Chapman there before she became so famous.) The girls and I would walk around listening to street musicians and spend many, many nights listening to the roots and folk music coming out of CLUB PASSIM, a place I revere. (www.clubpassim.com)
My dad always had big band and swing music on in the house so that has always been in my musical psyche. My mom loved Elvis's music. The "Blues After Midnight" radio program had always been on in my house and WUMB being on the airwaves for so many years helped provide the folk soundtrack to my life for which I am grateful, and a member.
I worked at Tech Hifi in the Harvard Square, MIT, B.U. and Lechmere locations for 4 years after high school. Loved it! It was a great job and I had customers from all walks of life in Boston and New England - people who love music and gear: professors, mothers, teenagers, Swiss yodellers and alphorn players, performers like Peter Wolf, Joe Perry, Steven Tyler, Shirley Lewis, Laurie Sargent, jocks like Tank and Charles Laquidaira (sp?) from WBCN, all sorts of people buying equipment, record player cartridges and styli, recording tape, first generation BETA VCRs, CD players, computers, monitors, etc when they were first invented. The guys who started Rounder Records, Ken Irwin and Bill Nowlin came in for stuff. It was one of my favorite times in life.
Tech Hifi went into bankruptcy as most electronics chain stores do, and we all lost our jobs. I scrambled and became a bookkeeper somewhere, eventually going to college. I love discovering new music, learning about artists and turning my friends onto them.
'When you stand outside my thatched hut, could you guess how spacious it is inside?

About me:
Hi There! Thanks for making it here. I am a singer from Massachusetts, and I have been living in Dallas, Texas for the past 8 years and YES, I got there as soon as I could!!!! The Texans' passion for music - from the performers to fans alike that I've met and befriended there has been incredible.
Having the opportunities to share stages singing Americana, Honky Tonk, Rock N' Roll, Folk, Jazz and Blues with many Texas artists has been a dream come true. I pray that the opportunities continue to come my way. I recently moved back to Boston to work on a degree. I miss my friends in Texas very much. I am finding Boston to be welcoming and still ever-bursting with friendly, creative, vibrant musical talent. There's a lot that I have missed here!!! I am happy to be home but still miss my Honorary Texan roots mucho.
As a singer, I love to create beautiful harmonies and present songs written by independent songwriters from all genres of music.
My old webpage is http://www.geocities.com/lizztish
THE FATES: I chose this name for the band because "the fates" brought us together as a band. We are a 5+ piece band that produces beautiful 5 part harmonies and cool swinging tunes. I asked The Guys to form the band with me in March 2002, in an effort to consistently play with some of my favorite Dallas musicians.
THE FATES are JEFF CARR (12 string guitar, vocalist), JACK HARDESTY (6 string lead & rhythm guitar, vocalist), DAVID HUTSON (bass par excellence, vocalist) and DAVID MILLS (viola, electric violin, keyboards), BETH MCCABE (vocals, guitar). I asked ZEKE DURRELL (mad percussionist, vocals)to join us in 2004. I hope you'll come out to a show. You'll have a great time with The Fates. We love to see you having a good time, dancing and singing along! Audience participation is encouraged and recommended!!!
I helped to co-found and co-produce the first Womens Acoustic Music Jam ((WAM Jam I (2002) - Dallas with Sally Ritchie-Williford, Karen Lee, Marge Troyer, Lisa Byrn, and Stephani Fine. The annual show benefits charities in the Dallas area. Ritchie-Williford, Troyer, Byrn, and Fine are all prominent songwriters from Dallas, Texas. Troyer was a Lilith Faire performer in the late 1990's with The Doris Daze Band.

I emcee'd the show that night. It was my first Professional Emcee gig and we all had a ball! I love the Lizards music. The show sold out so we had a packed house. The Lizards let me briefly interview them on stage at the start of the second set, giving the audience some background on the guys before they were full-time musicians. This was a first as the typical format of the regular emcee is that he gives out upcoming show information then starts the second set. It was a great time. I'd love to do more.
