Stage fright can paralyze the whole body. Remember Shirley Jones in The Partridge Family when her character had to sing for the first time? She got lockjaw and couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe!
Stage frights isn’t something I understand because I love to be on stage! We just had another family cruise, and guess who came in [...]

Charlie Brown’s schoolteacher talked like this, “Wah waah wah waah.” Maybe I have a hearing problem, but I don’t think The Peanuts adults articulate well. Snoopy talks better than they do.
If you talk to someone who can’t hear well, they will often blame you. One hard-of-hearing person used to say to us, “You [...]

My life is so not glamorous. Because I have such a small practice (circa 2006), I usually can’t afford to have outside help.

1-2-3-Kick!
Whenever I sing “New York, New York,” I grab people from the audience to form a chorus line. The problem with an unrehearsed chorus line is we end up kicking each other. 1-2-3-Yeow!
The Rockettes make it look so easy. However, during a party, I did one too many kicks because I could barely get out [...]

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,” has been a classic holiday song for like 60 years now! I don’t like to sing Christmas songs after Thanksgiving because they drive me crazy. On the other hand, I tend to hum them the rest of the year. Go figure!
