About Me:

Yeah, I was Mary Alice Reddick back then. And I survived the crazy HHS years in large part thanks to Skora... his sense of humor and the musical opportunities he provided. And then there was the student band C.O. Jones and all those great songs by Chicago and BS&T, not to mention Santana! Current info: Asst. Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities and music faculty member of the University of Texas at Dallas; Mary has worked in musical theater since moving to Dallas in 1980. As a writer, she has six original shows, including 3 operas. Search "La Curandera" or "The Old Majestic" for more information. Medrick also performs with Dallas Pro Musica a capella early music quintet. In 1994, she toured internationally as keyboard player for the opera Porgy & Bess. She and husband Michael met on that tour and now live in Plano, both teaching music and performing. Definition of success: her two daughters have master's degrees, one in French, the other in vocal performance: www.rebeccaduren.com She and Michael also serve on the board of an arts organization, producing jazz concerts: www.creativeartsalliance.org

    Absolutely! I would love to see you again. I live out at Heritage Ranch and I sell homes for Ashton Woods in Sloan Creek in Fairview - just north of Stacey Road on Hwy. 5. I ahve lived in Allen/Fairview since 1992. How about you? When did you move to Texas?

    Hi Mary Alice,

    This is Donna Adams. Do you remember me? I graduated in 1970. I am living in Fairview, Texas - right up the road from you. It is so good to see you continued on with your music. I remember you playing for us several times.

    Take care.

    Back in 1999 David performed this at Jerry's retirement. It brought down the House!

    For a while I had a youtube of ma-na-ma-na (muppets) on our Sound System Group Page. I'm sure the broken record you're referring to is David Cavanaugh's rendition of "Michelle". As you may recall, the 45 he learned it off of skipped alot due to scratches. What a classic!

    I finally had an opportunity to look at your daughter's web page. WOW! What type of music is your oldest doing?

    Mary Alice,

    Dad died in 2001 and Mother died in 2005. We are still trying to sell the house in Tampa. In spite of living in Texas, I was able to be in Tampa for the passing of both Mother and Dad. Carole Jean still lives in Tampa. All of my wife, Becky's, family lives here in Texas. Mother and Dad's family connections are scattered all over the country. It was good to here from you.

    Mary Alice,

    I remember you. You took voice from Dad. I seem to remmber that you had perfect pitch. You guessed the pitch of my electric razor one day. I live a bit up the road from you, in Van Alstyne, Texas. I was a Reformed Baptist pastor here for 15 years. I pray for anotehr oportunity to minister. In the meantime, I work at Fisher Valves in Sherman. My wife and I have been married for 37 years. We have two sons who are still single.
