[stylist] Two song lyrics & link - a belated happyValentine'sDay

Sun Feb 23 00:02:00 UTC 2014

OMG, I think my first concert was Michael Damien, a pop singer in the
late 80's and early 90's, who had previously been a soap actor. I was
probably to little to be at a concert , but my dad wanted to go and took
me, grin. Back then, I didn't enjoy the crowd, but I was captivated by
the concept of someone performing. I knew from a very early age that I
wanted to perform. It's all I ever wanted to do. In my early 20's,
something, and I, for some reason, stopped singing. I went through a bad
experience, and the music just stopped. I literally didn't sing at all.
Then when Declan was born, the music came back, smile. Now I sing all
the time at home, and Declan loves it. From time to time, I get the
performing itch and miss the stage. My first time at university, I was a
vocal performance major minoring in theatre. I use to do community
theatre around here and a little bit of modeling, though I never liked
modeling, did it mostly because my mom wanted me too. My life has taken
different routes, and though they are not the original routes I planned
to follow, they are good nonetheless. Anything leading away from Ross
and Declan would have been the wrong direction. Now I write and find a
new way to entertain.

My first concert was also Peter, Paul, and Mary. 
And I have to agree .. Your voice is lovely and I do hear that Mary
Travers vibe.))) a joy to listen to.
