Sung with her under the late Wm (Bill) Blair Talent Showcase “It’s Show Time at The Carver Audituriom! Where we performed to help raise money to keep the Carver Open for other important needs in the community at large of the Arts! The Show was a Success!
She was a great singer! She could really sing!
All l have is the great memories! I really do miss what we had! Watching American Idol or any singing competition on TV. Reminds me of what we had! The experience was an Honor. Thanks To The Late William Bill Blair for his dream; which came a reality here in San Antonio, on the East Side.
