For A While It Was Hard For

I've Lived In New York All My Life, And We Went To The Mormon Pageant Each Year In Upstate New York. It Still Is A Wonderful Production. I Remember Going And Seeing The Performance And Listening To The Music. My Father Had Mormon Tabernacle Choir Music, And We Would Listen To It And Sing With It.

While It's A Fact That A Voice Begins With Natural Talent, Any Talent Must Be Nurtured, Cajoled, Wrestled With Pampered, Challenged, And, At Every Turn, Examined.

I Have A Noble History Of Being Rejected By A Lot Of Places, Only To Discover That The One That Finally Lets Me In Is In Fact The Perfect Fit.

I Cannot Imagine A More Satisfying Calling Than My Own: Beauty, Humanity, And History Every Day, Combined With The Cathartic Joy Of Singing.

I Think Singing Is One Of The Most Natural Things That Human Beings Do, But It's Difficult.
