As some of you know, I have been a singer (and sometimes songwriter) for practically my whole life! I started out in country music - grew up in it to put it more correctly. Then, in the last 6 years or so, started adding in other genres. Country music these days is not very country in my opinion. I miss the real stuff from way back when....
Anyhow - one of my dreams, ever since I had my daughters and they started showing signs of musical talent, has been to have them on stage with me. They never would sing with me, for the longest time, because they felt intimidated. But at long last, I have prevailed. They recently did a couple of shows with me.
It was their first ever performance and they did great! It was a real dream come true for me. It was a rocknroll oldies show. We did all sorts of oldies from the early sixties; lots of girl group stuff, like "Mr Postman" and "My Boyfriend's Back". They worked their tails off to learn this stuff, and to learn how to perform. There were the usual bobbles...missed notes, mixed up dance steps, but overall. they were adorable. The crowd ate it up!
But you know what?? I didn't even care whether there was one person in the crowd!! I was so over the moon about them being on stage with me that we could have sung to a field full of cows and I'd have been happy!
Just thought I'd share.....
Hope you'll get them on the stage with you in the future as well!

In my youth I was an amateur actor, and performed in some plays, and also took lessons in ballet and modern dance, but wasn't very good in either.
