My granny says my career began when I sang, "I'm a Little Teapot", at
School for Little Children. I don't remember that, but I do remember my
first public performance at The Hamburger Store in Jefferson, TX. at the age of
7 years for the Opera House Theatre Players with Marcia Thomas director and
always a dedicated supporter of my career. I loved the audience, the applause
and couldn't wait to do it all again.
Since then, I have performed all genres of music around East Texas including
many times at Churches, retirement centers, restaurants and one very memorable
night was getting to play, "Great Balls of Fire" with Flashback
(a band from Shreveport, LA.) that was performing at the "1852 On Austin",
thanks to Mickey Morrison (owner) and Bill Handorf and Jennifer McMullen
(members of the band Flashback)
I love all types of music, but my personal favorites are:
Billy Joel, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Chuck Berry, Bach, Beethoven,
Old Time Gospel, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, John Fogerty, Buddy Holly, to name a few.
In my short life, I have been blessed to receive several awards and accolades for
my musical achievements. The ones that stand out the most are winning a "Jerry Lee Lewis"
look alike contest for the Million Dollar Quartet in Branson, at the age of 7 years.
Plus more recently, "The Rising Star Award" from the Opera House Theatre Players in 2021,
and the Lucille M. Terry Cultural Award in 2023.
