[Perform-talk] Going the Distance

Fri Aug 26 20:27:19 UTC 2011

And, I thought the arguing was only on the other list, (LOL.)
Good points though, David.
BTW, I sent you an E-mail, and I don't know if you received it.
I told you, that the girl that you thought was from Colorado, is
actually from MO.
Anyway, it was a great show, this year.
Julie, and the child were my favorites, this year.
That little girl, (Carly,) has a voice.
I just wonder what she'll do, when she grows up.
Our federation has alot of talent!
Thanks David, for recording this, and I hope you record the next one.
Blessings, Joshua
