[Joshua Lester]

Well, now that you've clarified that, I can understand what's going on.
See, last year was my first time, so I didn't know that, when this was going on.
Also, you are talented.
Was that you, at the piano, after that girl sang, "Somewhere Over the
Rainbow," last year?
Blessings, Joshua
