MAKING MUSIC: Hosts the Begin Family
Bill Mael introduces Gail Begin and her three children on his show Making Music on Friday 20th April. Annie (17), Joseph (15) and Jeannine (12) started performing as a band about 9 years ago shortly after they moved back to the Auburn area with husband/father Phil Begin from Los Angeles. They have many styles styles of music in their repertoire, ranging from Celtic, to country, to jazz, to rock. Annie has continued to study classical violin with her teacher in Los Angeles achieving the highest levels of training making her a virtuoso as a classical violinist and country/folk/jazz fiddler. Joseph has a talent for doing vocal impressions, and can sing in the style of Elvis. Their current goals are to continue to provide quality yet affordable entertainment to the local community. They are sometimes asked, “Why don’t you try out for all the big talent shows on T.V. so you can become famous?” To which Gail replies, “Do you want us to quit being able to perform around here which is what we really love? I don’t think so…We love Placer and Nevada County, the people and easy going rural atmosphere, so for now this is where we want to stay.”
ACTV is looking forward to welcoming the Begin Family to our studios on Friday April 20th. Check out the “programming” tab on our website for when you can see them on the air on Channel 20-Wave Cable
