I was 4 years old; my Mother and I had all expenses paid for this trip by The Detroit Federation of Musicians to attend this Convention because I was their youngest member (my Mother considered me to be her little protégé.) I have always loved performing but, I must have been a disappointment to my Mother because; as a young adult, I finally realized that I should gave up music in Show Business to become the Mother that I should be for my Daughter. College, Music Theory provided an understanding of how to hear the music that I read and be able to write whatever music I heard. However, a few years later, I recall crying when I was convinced by my College Counselor to give up my music major because educational funds were being withheld from all of the Arts. Social Work and Managerial employment gave me the finances that I needed to support my family nevertheless; throughout my lifetime…music has always been my “ace in the hole.” Today (this old woman) enjoys accompanying and conducting a senior, vocal group.visualizza meno
