[Nfbmo] Julie's recital

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi Cory and Dan,

Thank you for the complements!  I was so glad to see you both there as
well as Brent Ford.  Thank you for coming!

Recordings will be out soon.  I have list of people who want one.

I was pretty nervous last night, but once I got started singing, it
wasn't so bad and I was able to have fun.  And now it's over!

Thanks again everyone for the support.
