The Aavocate, Sunday, June 3, 1956, Victoria Singing Discovery Chooses Home Over Tucson By JAMES T. CARTER Advocate Staff Writer It'll be a bicycle instead of horse for young Eddie Wayne DeOchoa this summer, and September will find him back in school instead of on Europe's concert stages. And yet. Victoria's. pocket-sized Mario Lanza said Saturday he's happier now than six months ago when he was offered what looked then like a golden opportunity to throw in his silver voice with the famed Tucson Arizona 5 Chorus.

For after -months of debating the pros and cons of Chorus Director' Eduardo Caso's offer made when Caso heard Eddie sing just one ballad during the troupe's performance here it has been decided Eddie will be better off at home taking private voice and piano lessons than to be "just another boy" in the Tucson group of more than 100. The bike. like the piano in Ed-. die's modest home at 1303 E. Harry, was the gift of the same Victoria couple that volunteered to foot the bills for Eddie's tuition at Tucson.

On it. instead of astride the horse of which he had dreamed earlier, Eddie will be riding four days a week to the music studio of Leonard Weigand at 1206. N. chaps he was promised for his Jecker. The buckskin shirt and Arizona training will be a T-shirt and blue jeans.

said his benefactors. boy alto is a soloist and he will be getting--in fact, he's already getting individual attention as such instead of group training. Then, too, should his remarkable voice fail him when it changes, he will have the piano and a thorough knowledge of music on which to It was a difficult decision to make. Eddie's patrons, who wish to remain unnamed, had said they would go along with the lad either way he and his parents decided Their contention was that the $1.500 it would cost for seven months' instruction with Caso and lodging in Tucson, plus the $150 cowboy outfit the chorus wears, would benefit Eddie greater in the long run if applied to private voice and piano lessons. After a natural tug-o-war a.

mong various factions some insisting on Tucson: others taking the longer view of keeping Eddie in Victoria--the 12-year-old singer's father, Sfe. Emilio DeOchoa came home on a furlough from Fort Hood and added his weight to that of the stay-at-home group. The Rev. Hyacnith Rosati, for instance, reminded Eddie that by to Tuscon he would have to give up Our Lady of Sorrows Church. Brother John Kurz, principal at St.

Joseph School, Eddie's. place was in the eighth grade there and that he'd give him a scholarship. Perhaps the most unbiased view was that of Eddie's mother, Ella, stand to lose him she explained. "Emilio has just signed up for another six-year hitch in the army and I'm going back to Fort Hood with him and my other two children. My question was: Should I let Eddie go to Tucson, or leave him here with his grandmother to go to St.

Joseph's and study with Mr. Weigand. I have decided on the latter." But what about Eddie himself? (Advocate Photo) HAPPY NOTE--Young Eddie Wayne DeOchoa and his father, Sfc. Emilio DeOchoa, at the piano Saturday after making decision to turn down offer to the boy singer to join the Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus in favor of staying home for schooling and private voice and piano lessons. If you were 12 years old and had a choice of a bike a horse, and of going to school or touring Europe, which would it be? "Those cowboy shirts with the fringes sure looked nice on the boys in the chorus." Eddie mused.

"But then, what's a shirt? the bike--it's my own bike, better than a rented horse. Europe? I've been all over Europe with my father when he was stationed in Germany. In three years we saw Italy, France, Austria, Spain all the places the chorus will go." It is possible, Maestro Weigand says, that Eddie's voice may change smoothly over to a tenor or baritone of such caliber that he can go to Europe someday as a soloist. With this vision ahead of him, his benefactors behind him and his trusty bike tethered in the house of his grandmother, Mrs. A.
