Patty, I'm on my way to the YMCA, will come back later and read when I have time. Love you.
Beautiful! I am a soprano, but can't reach the highest notes . So I sometimes playback. I sing in a choir of elderly people. It is on Saturday mornings and a good start of the weekend!
I'm kind of an alto who is totally attracted to tall skinny bass singers.
Thank you so much for your kind words Patty.
A fox terrier was my first dog as a child and the smartest.
