Hello World!

This is my first attempt at blogging. Yes, my very first one. It’s an interesting thing this blogging world and I’m actually looking forward to being a part of it. Problem is, I have so many thoughts to share, I have no idea where to start. So I thought I’d start at the very beginning….no, not the embryo stage of me, but the singer to be stage of me. Well I guess in my case that is the embryo stage!

You see, once upon a time, a medical student met an opera singer in Portland OR. They fell in love and had me. Butt first I came into the world (I was a breech baby). My mom sang all the time when I was in utero. My theory is that I didn’t know that there would be lovely sounds outside the womb too, so I was a little hesitant to come out. Turns out the loverly sounds continued outside of that warm wonderful womb. Not only did my mother sing, but my father did too! And such beautiful music they made together too….

    Hi Val!!!
    How exciting it is to see your mother’s photo and song clip! So much talent in one family should be against the law~

    I just read your Benefit Concert email and saw that you will be turning fifty this year. Welcome to the club! No worries, you are still beautiful on the inside and out no matter how many birthdays celebrated. …I bet you can’t wait to receive your welcome message from AARP. Hahaha
