Anita Snell was our school&#039;s music teacher and encouraged me to sing my first solo for the Rotary Club.  My father was in the audience and says he&#039;s sure he was more nervous than I was.',

After this front page came out, everyone congratulated me on my upcoming gig at the Sewer Meeting.  Nothing beats a small town paper.  It&#039;s actually a wonderful newspaper, and they&#039;ve been incredibly supportive.  Not just of me of course - I&#039;m proud to share my hometown with such musical luminaries as Charles Wadsworth and country superstar Alan Jackson.',
                             './images/journal/album/004_wadsworth.jpg|400|300|At Spoleto USA with pianist Charles Wadsworth.  Every musician ought to have a mentor, and I couldn&#039;t have a better one than Charles.  Not only was he Beverly Sills&#039; accompanist for twenty years, Founding Artistic Director of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and yadda yadda yadda, but he&#039;s also a very cool guy.  In our first rehearsals years ago, I&#039;d been struggling with nerves and came to the piano to find he had left me, in place of the usual singer&#039;s glass of water, a glass of beer.  He helps me take it all, the good and the bad, in stride and with humor.',

This was taken before our last concert together at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which sadly turned out to be her last public performance.  Together we performed Rachmaninoff songs, one of which, the <span class="italics">Vocalise</span>, I would sing at her burial in Valhalla, NY.  She rests, as she had wished, near the gravesite of Rachmaninoff himself.  Ruth was a great supporter of young artists and a brave lady - I was encouraged and inspired by her loving dedication to music and family.',

I had just finished speaking and singing for the Metropolitan Opera Regional Auditions in Atlanta.  Having planned a sort of pep talk directed to the contestants (and relieved not to be one of them!), I&#039;m afraid none of them actually heard it.  They were too busy backstage pacing and chewing fingernails as the judges deliberated!',

Now I&#039;m grateful to know her as a friend, and to see how that beauty reflects who she is as a person.
