I Just Can't Read Music.

I Am Continually Embarrassed By People Who Point Me Out As An Example Of What Can Be Done Without Training.

Public And Employer Opinion Often Defeat Society's Best Interests With A Prejudice Against Middle-aged Women.

I Learn My Songs By Ear.

I Could See Myself In A White Nurse's Uniform, Working Unnoticed For Many Years And At Last Dying, Unknown, Unmarried And Unsung.

Because Of My Voice, Speaking Words Which Had Been Carefully Chosen, Women Had Used Money They Had Set Aside For Other Purposes To Buy War Bonds.
