Thanks Jim, I appreciated the look of rapture on Simon's face once she started singing.

Tiger,
I don't know what you talking about, but I'll sure listen. Things are getting a little too wacky in the blog below us.

This is a lesson to us all.............never judge a book by its cover. Even lumpy, dumpy housewives sometimes have a song to sing!!!

She did say that she had voice lessons every week for several years. I think she said she started having the lessons in her thirties.
A splendid voice!

It was a major victory for the underdog!

I found the occasional shots of the audience very telling...for an unknown 47 year old pudgy "frump" to move an audience that may have been age 25 on average to a standing ovation speaks volumes!

Not only can she sing, but she has a nice touch of showmanship.
