Me and David Burney

Rebecca Newton

"Me" aka Rebecca Newton, has been labelled “The Triangle’s Impresario” by NC-based journalist Jack Bernhardt. She cut her musical teeth on show tunes and vaudeville as a young child in the late '50s and early '60s. Her first LP was a 78, which her Grandmother bought for her after a birthday dinner in Seattle, WA. At the fresh age of 4, she witnessed Barber Shop Quartet of banjo- and ukulele-playing, pinstriped suit-wearing men with straw hats singing impeccable harmonies. The record was a 78rpm live recording of Sophie Tucker, which Rebecca still owns.
