They didn’t cast me. Honestly, my first reaction was surprise! (Color me confident.) At any rate, it’s ok. In fact, it’s good. Auditioning for America’s Got Talent was an amazing adventure, but apparently the Powers That Be have a better way for me to get my songs out to the world. It appears that this was only a path of preparation: Intense preparation that grew my presence, shined-up my material, polished my appearance, strengthened my voice, and left me with an increased sense of self-worth.

    Although there are many albums to my credit, this will be the first one that is ALL original. For awhile now, inspirational songs have been falling down on me like a soft spring rain. At this point, I have more than enough to make an album. I feel like a giddy child romping in a…
