Talk:The New Christy Minstrels

alumni?

Since Barry McGuire is still apparently with the group, it seems doubtful he should be listed among its "alumni". I think I'll solve this by adding a list (which will include McGuire) of current members of the band. --Haruo 07:51, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Tracy Newman

Tracy Newman is listed under alumni as from 1961 but is not mentioned as one of the original 14, nor subsequently. What was her involvement ? -- Beardo (talk) 08:53, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

She said "If you look at the make-up of the Christies back then, there were always eight men and two women. There was a short period in 1961 or so when the two women were me and Jackie Sparks, (Randy Sparks’ ex-wife – Randy started the group). I had been singing in a duo with Barry McGuire (before his hit record “Eve of Destruction,”) and we were kind of “discovered” together. We used to sing together on weekends at a Mexican restaurant in Westwood, CA, called the El Toril. I was in the group for a month or two…I did the Vic Damone Show with them. When the Andy Williams Show wanted the group as regulars, they needed real singers. I was an alto. So was Jackie Sparks. They needed a soprano. I was let go, as were two or three of the guys. I think they also needed some people who could read music, too. That was not me. Anyway, I was devastated. I loved the group. They put on an incredibly dynamic show." - https://tracynewman.com/guitar-girl-magazine/ McGuire is listed as joining in 1962, so was Newman a member then, too ? -- Beardo (talk) 14:23, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

This sentence fragment needs a verb

This sentence in the section "1962-1964" needs a verb:

"At the same time, the group's two female singers, Jackie Miller and Gayle Caldwell, citing the group's grueling concert schedule."

It's probably missing "left" or "quit", but I didn't want to add it without raising the question first TheBaron0530 (talk) 14:19, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

@TheBaron0530: This source uses "left in early 1964", though it doesn't explain why they left. I've added "left" and {{cn span}}.--Pokechu22 (talk) 21:40, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
