My life was changed forever the moment I walked into your studio 25 years ago. I have often wished over the years that I could come in and have a voice lesson from you&#8230;living out of the state doesn&#8217;t make it possible, but know that you are forever a part of my voice. I wanted to tell you that I just released my first solo EP. I have been on many people&#8217;s albums and projects over the years, but never done my own. It is a Christmas EP of original songs that a friend and I wrote. I would love to have you listen to them. My facebook page has the songs on there.
