People often take a look at me and they would never guess that I was a singer.  They, of course, would be wrong.

I have been singing for most of my life, and I began playing piano when I was 8 years old.  The piano was gorgeous, especially because it was my grandmother’s Shoemaker piano.  And I still have it (and play it!) to this day.  The ivory keys may not be played every day, but I still enjoy tickling them when I am working on a song.

I’ve always been singing, but I experienced a major turning point while I was spending a year in Ithaca with Ernie.  My stepdaughter Miriam introduced me to a singing instructor that took my singing to a new level.

And now, with each harmonious melody, I keep turning heads with my singing to this day.
